BMW: 59 MPG / 0 to 60 in 8.8 sec

BMW brought its 118d not for sale in U.S. diesel to New York City to accept the 2008 World Green Car Award.

It's a bit disappointing that BMW isn't selling this car in the U.S.. It's also more disappointing that the legislature is not more aggressive with our Nations' energy policy to promote cars like this. Sort of makes me think that Congress would much rather prefer low-economy cars so that they generate more income from fuel taxes.
