If you want to get a syntax-coloured diff, you can try my plugin format.vim
(http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3113). Using it in batch mode:

vimdiff file1 file2 -c 'FormatCommand diffformat' -c 'w! diff.html' -c 'qa!'
(create side-by-side formatted diff in a HTML table and write it to diff.html)
Note that outputting to stdout is not possible with vim.
