Sorry for bumping this but there's some news. None of it good.
According to numerous reports, the CEO of VW North America, Michael Horn, has stated that there's very little chance this car will be coming here. Supposedly it's due to the costs involved in producing the engine in Germany (the Mexico plant can't make it), importing it and then adding the AdBlue system.
Sad day folks. North American emissions standards may have once again played a factor in killing another promising diesel.
