So the Golf, by far VW's bestseller worldwide, is outsold here in the US by a newly introduced luxury SUV with an unpronounceable name. Some markets are very different.
We would buy a Sharan TDI wagon if it were available...  |
Great point! And I agree that if the new VW mini-van had the TDI option, their would be one sitting in my driveway (well, only for about 6 years..)
Never know, the Dodge and Chrysler versions may get the "Jones next door" complex and add the same TDI to their lines as well.
Not seeing a downside yet gang....
