\'03 TDI - displ & power bump for North America?
One of the recent Automobile magazines previewed the next generation Golf and mentioned that one of the available powerplants will be a 2.0L 143 hp TDI that makes something like 235 fl-lbs of torque mated to a 6 speed manual.
Was this a typo? The 143 number matches (if I remember) the HP of a 16v 2.0 gas engine they claim will also be offered. They both sound a little high for a 2.0 TDI.
Is this just a rumor? Has VW confirmed either the displ/output of the next TDI OR whether a 6 spd will be offered with it?
