Our time is limited, and the verdict is still mixed.

Our BMW 328i Luxury returns to the manufacturer in just a few days. If you thought that its impending departure and an "absence makes the heart grow fonder" attitude would cause our final logbook updates to be saccharine, you'd be wrong: the BMW's strengths and weaknesses were as clear as ever during the past month.

The Volkswagen of hybrids.

The Jetta Hybrid is Volkswagen's second hybrid vehicle sold in the U.S. (after the Touareg), and it represents a bit of a capitulation for the German automaker. You've got to figure that VW would prefer that fuel-economy-conscious Americans just buy diesels, which VW has lots of experience with and which are immensely popular in Europe. VW also offers diesels here, but now it offers both TDI and Hybrid models of the Jetta. So, does the Hybrid come off as a grudgingly developed compliance car?
