Very cool, it will be interesting to see how they perform. The article got one thing wrong though :

Diesel engines are an extremely popular passenger car option in most of Europe, not least because the fuel costs less than standard gasoline.
:nono: Diesel prices passed unleaded in 2002 and it now costs about 8% more.
