Can't wait for the new Honda diesels to come to North America. The new diesel Civic is supposed to get 70+MPG. I hate Japanese cars, but hell, for mileage and reliability like that, it's hard not to want one.

Those lists are based on what the car costs to drive per mile.
A Jetta isn't as cheap to drive around as people think. Diesel fuel and oil is much more expensive, and the fact they get horrible city mileage compared to highway mileage.
My wife owns a Jetta and I own an SUV that gets 21mpg in the city. The only time it's worth driving her car over mine is long road trips.
