But going back to somewhere near the beginning of this, diesel and hybrid aren't mutually exclusive.
I think modern Euro diesels are pretty quiet, the diesel Kangoo was the quietest car I've ever driven. Deathly silent at freeway speeds. Very impressive for a van.

I posted figures for Mercedes Diesel Hybrid some pages ago.
