They did.  It is the 3 cylinder 1.2L TDI.  It is available in the Lupo, Polo, 
Audi A2, and a Seat (I don't recall what model(s)).  Investigate it.  VW has 
no intentions of importing those models to America unless there is 
"significant determined interest".  Max torque is right off idle.  Top speed over 100 
mph, and 0-60 in 15 seconds.
