Today I went to the local VW dealer because our 2 2006 company Jettas are close to the 100k mark. I talked to the salesman that I always talk to and I told him what I was looking for.. 2008 Jetta TDI (Turbo diesel), one 5-speed manual and one automatic. Then he told me that Volkswagen stopped making the TDI models all together!

I don't understand why a car company would stop making one of it's top selling sedans?

I don't like them :( They look like someone has clumsily left their VW Golf outside while 2 crazy people tied an elephant to each end and let them stretch it.

Surely the Passat is enough to have in the family saloon range?

I learned something today, as I went back to talk to the dealer about gas Jettas. He said that they will have a 2008 TDI model out later this year. It's something called a Bluetec diesel? It's cleaner, and more powerful and it cuts down on polution and the "eheheheheheheh" noise.
