I presume one of these lines was supposed to list "manual":
 
5K12S1 Golf 2-DR 2.5 Automatic Federal
5K12S3 Golf 2-DR 2.5 Automatic Federal

I was wandering the local VW lot yesterday looking at the new Jetta TDI's. They where all lined up in a neat row with 3 White ones side by side.
 The 3 were identical exept the white color, on 2 of was what I would call an 'Off White', seemed to have some beige in it, and the other was an 'Appliance White' or snow white.
 
The 'off white' BTW, was a far nicer looking color than the pure, snow white.
 
Anyone know if VW is tinkering with their color options to include an 'Oyster White'?

White Gold will be a 2010 Jetta color. Won't be available on Golf.
No new white
 
Dynaudio (lite) is expected to be an option on the Golf TDI 2010. Don't know if it will be part of package or standalone option, and also don't yet have details on why is was listed as "lite".

"White Gold", is a beautuful color.
 
 The Campanella White (O6's) seems like a 'snow white'...just too much, well, White.
 
Then there's Candy White, not sure what's that all about.
 
I think the 2010's are worth waiting for, especially the Jetta Wagon that should have the steering wheel controls back on it.
 
 Why they didn't have them on the 09's is one major complaint of all Jetta Wagon buyers who have paid a premium price and didn't even have the option to special order the controls.
 
Now VW has decided that the Grey Leather interiors are gone from the 2010's leaving only black or biege to choose from.
 
Sounds like accountants have finally taken over the whole factory.

When does the Third World USA get the 2010 Golf GTD. I think I could like that car for most of my running around.

The problem with bringing the GTD to North America is that the current 140 hp engine in the Jetta TDI has a diesel particulate filter but not urea injection. The 170 hp engine in the GTD would probably require urea injection -- added complexity and added cost. If VWoA could sell it for the price of a GTI, then that would be great. But what if the price was $1000-2000 MORE than a GTI? Not such a good deal anymore. I'd love one, but I wouldn't love the price.

The Golf TDI will kick the Prius and Insight in the ass. Convert to a Veggie Oil option and the Prius will be crying. The Toyota is way overpriced...........I hope the celebrity corwd luvs it.........because it is not for the regular guy.

The 2010 Prius starts at $22,000. What's the starting price for the 2010 Golf TDI?
 
Will veggie oil be covered under the VW warranty?

Running any TDI on SVO or WVO will absolutely void the warranty. If you want a vehicle that can be safely operated on VO, then get a VW or MB from the 1970s or 1980s. They use the indirect injection system, where the fuel and air are premixed before the cylinder head. There is still a risk of raw fuel getting mixed with the engine oil, via the cylinder walls, but frequent oil changes can reduce this.
 
If you spent $2000 to run waste veggie oil in a $22,000 Golf TDI, this would reduce its value to about $6,000. It's up to you to decide whether this makes sense.
 
Speaking of $22,000... the first 2010 Golf TDIs may cost almost that much, or maybe its the ones with the DSG transmission and the MT models are about $20,000. Stripped down models should come later.
