[s-cars] Passat 4motion W8 wagon: Opinions?

[LL - NY]

You COULD register it in CT. You can't bring it in to a NY registry for minimum
1 year,  even if the car is used. That was the extend of NY State law from
what my friend's found out.

I bet you can still buy a new diesel semi, farm, or "work" truck. Seeing how the only car makers that make diesel vehicles in the US are VW and MBZ, wouldn't their output be insignificant?
