I check myself and all I can find is a $68,000 beast that will use a V10 turbocharged diesel???
So does Volkswagon not offer diesels anymore? Are they just a luxury item for extra power and only available for the eliete? With stricter regulations on cars coming why are they offering V10 engines??? Or does a turbo diesel not count in a company's MPG average?

In 2008 the VW Jetta TDI will become available again in the US, this time with the new 50-state legal Common-rail 2.0 140Hp/320Nm TDI. AFIK also the VW Tiguan will enter the US market with the same engine.
