I can recall when VW would play games with the US market and continuously start and stop importing TDI's for some unknown reason. If their purpose was to frustrate consumers by limiting supply, forcing them to pay sticker+ prices, well they've been successful. Where is VW's diesel/electric hybrid we've been hearing about????

In most European contries the diesel costs about 20% less than gasoline, so it makes even more sense. Plus people still think of the old 70-80's diesels with loud, slow, smokey engines. Doug,
