Picked up a 2016 Passat brochure and it only listed 2 engines, 1.8L and V6, I didn't know they were giving up on the TDI on the Passat?
well aware of Diesel Flub, the 16 Golf and Sportwagen list a TDI engine as an option, is 15 the last year VW will offer a Passat with the TDI option?...the 13 Passat I owned I believe was built on a Friday afternoon this 15 is really nice to drive and everything works. I'm set, a 15 with an 05 backup.Surely you knew about Dieselgate???
If not, then no, there are no new diesels being sold at any Volkswagen, Porsche, or Audi dealer in the USA.
Also, didn't you already have a bad experience with a new NMS Passat?
Same thing at my dealer here in AZ. 15 or 20 TDIs sequestered in the back of the lot. I did pick up a 2016 Jetta brochure that shows a TDI engine option. Must have been an old brochure.as has been said, no '16 TDIs. There are some early production '16 TDIs at some dealers. There is at least one dealer in NOVA with new 15 and 16 TDIs on the lot, but they are not being sold- for now.
Knowing Volkswagen (and if that even happens), they probably will not discount them much.I wonder what prices will be asked of the 15's once they are cleared for sale
