Questions regarding the VW diesel:
1) Enough power to pass/run 75 in a 75mph zone?
2) Airbags/safety features/crumple zones?

A lot of the local guys drive diesel pickups hauling/pulling. Those monsters get close to 20 mpg, have tons of torquie, and last 300,000 miles. Added positive(negative): everytime you smell the diesel fumes, it reminds you of loading onto a deuce-and-a-half.
