Do you know why they want to sell the turbo diesels in Canada? VW cannot sell them any more in Germany, the tax on this engine will rise over DM 1,200.00 a year, compared to a tax of about DM 700.00 a year for a TDI. But two of my friends driving the TD EV, great engine but a little bit noisy because the engine is in the front. What kind of engine will be sold in US?
