When I spoke with the local dealer this summer he mentioned no diesels for 07 because US fuel was too dirty for their new clean burn diesel engines. The cruddy diesel in the US would foul the injectors and they would suffer from a warranty and image perspective.

Petro Canada is currently building a clean diesel refinery here in Edmonton to supply the western Canadian market so we will have clean diesel. However, IF VW would sell me a new tech TDI and IF I drove in the USA the likelihood of fuel related problems is very high. That was his story and there are no new tech TDIs in north america and won't be until US oil cleans up it's act.
