Replying to: larsb (Jun 23, 2009 6:50 am) ( in like model cars (i.e., 03 Jetta's 2.0, 1.8T) It does need to be said that most OEM's do not offer "like model" diesel options. While the 09 Jetta TDI gets (a not bad) 39-45 mpg, I am led to believe it is more like 24 mpg for the gasser versions, with ap 29# ft of torque less. So in this case 76.4% MORE |

Replying to: larsb (Jun 23, 2009 6:50 am) Just wish they'd show how many 335d's have been ordered so far. I like the car, I just don't want to be one of only a few hundred owning the car. That's like owning an RS6 (only ~900 sold in the US). Depreciation, warrantee, service, finding buyers... all becomes difficult when your car is rare. At least from the examples I've looked into. |

...VW Product Communications Leader Christian Buhlmann tells us, "In the U.S., over 30 percent of Jetta four-doors are TDI and over 50 percent of SportWagen sales likewise."... but WAIT !!!... link title |

wonder what my TSX would be worth at trade-in time against one of these? Methinks I'll watch all this carefully for the next year or so to see which way the wind blows. Six speed manual w/ a 2 litre diesel meets most of what my ideal vehicle would include. The only missing piece is the RWD. |

This Skoda Yeti CUV comes with THREE diesel options. None of which we will see here in the third World of automotive choices. How much oil would we save with soccer mom's getting 35-40 MPG combined instead of 15 MPG?
