 FYI...
 There may be other diesel options in Europe,in fact I'm sure there probably
 is,but VW recently released the new Diesel TDI engine in Australia in the
 range of Transporters.No doubt other places too(other than the US it
seems...)

 It is a 5 Cyl 2.5 litre TDI with performance reputed to be comparable to
 the 5 Cyl petrol engine (which isn't bad - I know 'cos I drive one)
 The TDI replaces (at least in Oz)the 2.4 litre diesel engine which is good
 but typically sluggish and doesn't command the same resale value as that of
 the petrol engine.

 6.3 l TDI? I'd like to see that! <g>
