VW Golf TDI Hybrid: Outsipping the Toyota Prius

Here's more info about the VW Golf TDI Hybrid which was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show and which is easily outsipping the Toyota Prius.

This version of the Golf (a model known as the Rabbit over here) uses an electric motor system similar to that of the Toyota Prius but mates that to a clean and frugal 1.2-liter, three-cylinder diesel-powered engine. Bottom line, in a European fuel economy test cycle, the Prius achieves 54 miles per gallon. This VW could get 69, an improvement of about 28%.
