[Vwdiesel] Has anyone heard any more about this 60mpg new TDI motor that was supposed to be in the states by now?

[Bryan Belman]

I agree, just an artical written without checking the facts properly I guess.  ........60mpg.  that would be turning way more heads for sure.

This is all marketing hype.  They are talking about the 2.0 common-rail TDI that has been available for the past couple years.  Apparently someone decided to drop the "blueTDI" moniker, and I dunno what orifice they pulled "60 MPG" from... probably non-converted imperial MPG.
