Just compare these figures...

......................................... Toyobaru....................... Volkswagen Bluesport Diesel
CO2 emissions................ 159 g/km....................... 113 g/km
Fuel consumption............ 40.9 mpg........................ 50 mpg
Weight wet, with driver... 1295 kg......................... 1254 kg
Max. Torque..................... 151 lb-ft......................... 258 lb-ft
Power output................... 197 bhp......................... 178 bhp
Max. speed...................... 137 mph........................ 140 mph
0 - 62 mph........................ 7.6 sec........................... 6.6 sec



The Volkswagen Bluesport has practically the same weight as the Toyobaru, it has lower power and yet it's 1 full second faster than the Toyobaru from 0-62 mph for the same top speed (even slightly higher) with MUCH improved fuel consumption and emissions... THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME!!!

What about you?!
