What's part of audis Diesel engine is not advanced? Go look under the hood of any modern Diesel engine car,pick up,even semi trucks and see how advanced Diesel engines have become.at least sticking and relying on the diesel will advance it further and possibly trickle down into road cars,where as the flybrid will never really be packaged into daily driven road cars.
