Love it! Should be interesting as BMW starts bringing the Efficient dynamics into the Mini D. Then we can all set back and laugh out loud at the Prius crown lol.

Of course, the hybrid would have more of an advantage in city driving than it did on the 545-mile highway trip. That having been said: if BMW brings the 5-series wagon to the states with a diesel . . . I’ll go put a deposit down today.

I can’t stand how Prius owners hold onto this self-righteous attitude about being fuel efficient. They’ve got to be the most rude drivers I’ve ever encountered.
