When I read what Zetsche said, I interpreted it as what Lutz said. I didn't have to translate Bob's words in my mind. Also, some of what Zetsche is saying is a crock anyway. Most people that buy cars from his company aren't too interested in saving money while driving. Plus, technology like hybrid systems don't save any money for most drivers, the increased cost doesn't get paid back durring ownership. Same with diesel. Often, they simply cost more. I can't imagine the cost of a diesel hybrid ever paying for itself. There are exceptions but they are not the norm. And so, what Bob is saying is more truthful than Zetsche was
