Is NY as bad as MA? The short lived V10 Touareg diesel was not 
available in MA, CA and a couple of other states.

The Passat TDI is only fwd, not awd.

With lower sulfur diesel on the way, I gather that Mercedes is 
planning on bringing in some nice cars.

Wish Audi would bring in the V8 diesel... or shoot, even a charged 
V6...quattro mandatory. Doh.

In Europe these cars get better fuel economy than their gas 
counterparts *and* perform better.
