I have not read the entire thread; but I will throw a few bones to the TDI's side.
1) Higher resale value
2) Longer engine life
3) Bio-Diesel
4) EPA under rates the TDI. What did the couple average across 48 states 58mpg? I think their speed was fairly reasonable as well.
5) Torque is fun!
If diesel fuel was more competitively priced it would definatley help.
