[Vwdiesel] The new TDI's

[peter blake]

If I had the money I think I would wait a year.  Chevy is putting
or has put a diesel in the Cruze. Mazda is selling or will sell soon
a 2 liter diesel in one of their cars and I suspect that the other
auto manufacturers will soon follow suit.  It could be an interesting
next few years for us diesel fans. I think VWs are somewhat less 
reliable than most of the other major manufacturers. I say that w some
regret as I mostly really like their cars.
