The diesels haven't been DROPPED from the lineup, because they haven't yet
been OFFERED in the new Jetta/Rabbit/Passat.  Since all are new models, VW
typically waits 1-2 years before widening powertrain options, sadly.  I've
read in numerous places (as well as have been told by a local dealer - for
what that's worth) that 2008 is the year the TDI Jetta and Rabbits will be
here at least.)  New Beetle - yes, dropped.
