If the Jetta gets the same gas mileage as the Prius but takes diesel (which is the most expensive fuel right now), how can Auburn Volkswagen argue that the TDI is the preferrable option?
Quoted: One Auburn car dealer says he has a way to save on gas money, but the gas-saving car he's promoting isn't what you might think. He says his car can beat the nation's top selling hybrid, the Toyota Prius.

Volkswagon's new Jetta Turbo Diesel hasn't even hit the Seattle area market, but one Auburn Volkswagon dealer is throwing down the gauntlet to the king of hybrid sales. The Prius touts 47 miles per gallon, while the new Jetta TDI turbo diesel touts 47. The challenge: A road trip from Auburn, Wash., to San Francisco on one tank of gas.

I read elsewhere that Governor Gregoire was going to ask the NBA not to approve the relo next week due to these revelations and to instead find a way to have some REAL "good-faith" efforts to keep the team in Seattle.
Quoted: E-mail messages between SuperSonics owner Clay Bennett and team co-owners appear to show Bennett misled NBA commissioner David Stern on the group's intentions to move the team to Oklahoma City before all avenues for a new arena in Seattle were closed. The messages have become part of the team's dispute with the city of Seattle over the two years remaining on its KeyArena lease. - National Basketball Association news

Treatments at 15 Puget Sound-area spas range from a man's Brazilian wax (seriously) to eyelash extensions to a papaya nectar pedicure.Book your appointments now, because the services sell out quickly.

T has been mentioning the Lusty Lady too frequently lately.
Quoted: When Déjà Vu opens another strip club downtown later this year -- right by the federal courthouse and the swanky new Metropolitan Towers condos -- it won't be the only strange bedfellow in town.
On the other side of downtown from where naked women will give lap dances down the street from seated juries, the Four Seasons hotel and condominiums will open next to Seattle's legendary strip club: the Lusty Lady.
