In speaking with a VW rep last August re the current lineup, he
stated that VW would not be importing TDI into Canada or the US for
the 2007 model year because neither country has clean diesel
available. he further stated that the new generation diesel engines
required such a fuel and would not run properly nor be warranted if
run on dirty diesel. Canada /Canadian refineries are gearing up to
produce clean diesel. PetroCanada has just built a new refinery in
Edmonton Alberta to do just that. Presumably VW will bring back the
TDI ( I haven't checked) now that proper fuel is available.  Still
can't holiday south of the border with one though.
