When I spoke with the local dealer this summer he mentioned no diesels
for 07 because US fuel was too dirty for their new clean burn diesel
engines. The cruddy diesel in the US would foul the injectors and they
would suffer from a warranty and image perspective.

  Petro Canada is currently building a clean diesel refinery here in
Edmonton to supply the western Canadian market so we will have clean
diesel. However, IF VW would sell me a new tech TDI and IF I drove in
the USA the likelihood of fuel related problems is very high. That was
his story and there are no new tech TDIs in north america and won't be
until US oil cleans up it's act.
