The point of getting good mileage to you maybe financial, but not to the prius driver or to some diesel buyers. That's the point. They don't mind paying extra if its for a good cause.

Don't forget that clean diesel is a new thing, and as yet, as not been an option in some states including mine. If it were, I like to believe that we would see a lot more 335d on the road, rather than 335i.
