OK, here's what may be a silly question, but if VW can "fix" the newer 2.0 TDI engines with a computer update and they will pass EPA, why wouldn't they continue to sell in the states? Granted, it will still be a small market share but the bottom line is, from what I've read, we bought the diesel and it came with a VW wrapped around it. Looking at the VW posts on FB, some VW sites, and here, people really WANT a diesel. I think most would go for it even if there was a 5-8 mpg drop due to a new program. Oh, they also want leatherette seats with no sunroof, AWD on an SEL level with a manual tranny, and a batch of other things that you can't get together or separately. Ce la vie.
