That's why you have lots of TDI's outside of America. Anyways, the problem with those models is that they have had exactly zero interest from the american public. Of course they're not exactly popular anywhere else either.
    this thing is petrol.

    No, the one Tracy posted about is diesel. The gasoline version don't get all that great of mileage when you think about it. And the fact still remains that diesel in america is a bad word and is associated with big noisy trucks. The simple fact is that many new TDI diesels can be nearly as quiet as gas engines and with similar response and performance but with far greater mileage.

    the website was not clear about that. I hit model specs and only a petrol engine came up. I do see know that it was the diesel. i should have consider that a gas engine cant do 50 mpg.
