Coming from an automotive sales background and selling diesels (Volkswagen and Mercedes) I'm very surprised not to see Volkswagen on the list considering that have been importing their diesels for several years now. At one time the Diesels counterparts were the same in price and many times cheaper. The Diesel models started to ask a premium back in 1999-2002. Then the gas spiked up to almost $2.00. Ha! One reason why I think you don't see Mercedes on the list would be due to the demographics of that buyer. I was an internet marketing and sales director for a Mercedes Benz dealers and while there was success with internet marketing, the online shopper looking for Mercedes were of the younger generation. Mercedes only offers the Diesel in the more expensive models like the E-Class which start in the 40's. I'd me interested in knowing why Volvocars is on there. No doubt the manufactures should be watching search trends to help them make decisions that could have a great impact on their business.

Granted, it gives better economy, but end of the day, Diesel pollutes, and the supply of diesel will start drying up sooner or later.
