Shame the Jetta looks like a Corolla lol. Its clear in America, people prefer hybrids to diesels. VW/Audi seems to have some sort of new crush on Toyota/Lexus with their ads. IMO its great there is a diesel option and a hybrid option. Video is funny though lol

One looks like a toy, the other, a miniature Audi. Ok, I know I'm being wayy too harsh.I just thought the video was a little funny, especially the end. There's also three other "tdi truth" videos on youtube. I wasn't trying to bag on the Prius!
Some things to keep in mind - that Jetta TDI was rolling on 18s and was a stick.

With all the attention VW has been putting on Toyota, and Audi on Lexus, Toyota must be very flattered. The fact that we are seeing a lot of VW and Toyota comparisons shows that VW treats Toyota as a very serious competitor, and acknowledges Toyota's large presence in the world market.

lol wow they are desperate. But hey, VW does want to beat Toyota. Didn't they have a game plan? At least they were "fairer" in choosing the Touring model with the larger, wider tyres but that's no match for the 18" rims (which I'm sure is a Dealer-installed Accessory, not a factory spec) on the Jetta. And every time they do a Jetta TDI vs. Prius, they always go for the manual despite the fact that 99% of Americans drive automatics and the Prius is an automatic.

lol, what a bunch of tossers
skidpad, .83gs vs .81gs
1/4 mile 16.5 vs 17.8 seconds
slalom 60.1 vs 58.4 mph
Who are they trying to kid? Apart from that they put a lard **** in the prius.
I'm not saying the Prius is a performer, I mean c'mon who are we kidding, but it goes to show how hard the diesel Jetta sucks
