NY Times Thumbs Up on VW TDI

In an article reprinted from the Cleveland Plain Dealer newspaper (10/14, F sect), the NY Times writer Phil Patton wrote a favorable review of the TDI, namely the Lupo, but more broadly the technology. Comments were made on the lack of European quality diesel here in the states.

Interesting article, and hopefully more press for ULSD fuel and diesel technology.

Last night, Speedvision played the Motorweek test of the TDI. It was almost 5 minutes and featured a road test praising the clean new TDI technology. They gave a great endorsement of these cars. I got it on video tape & I suppose I could copy & send it to anybody who desperately wants it. E-mail me if you do.

SteveS could u please send me a copy of that tape here is my e-mail address iamasaint_1999@yahoo.com thanks.....

Steve,

I would love a copy! Thank you very much in advance for your trouble. My e-mail is in my profile for correspondence. Hmmm, you wouldn't have resources to convert the tape to AVI or MPEG and burn it into a CD, would you? Someone would (unfortunately, not me).

If you receive Speedvision on cable or satellite, they also broadcast Motorweek on Mondays at 5:00 PM, Eastern Time. It is then followed by Autoweek.

I will gladly send copy, but I am no where near proficient at computer coping...I meant a real old fashioned VHS copy...all I need is a short VHS tape and your physical address and I'll gladly take care of the rest.

Someone around here (sorry, can't remember who) posted a link to an MPEG of the entire clip. Maybe run a search for Motorweek???

I can. I have an mpeg of that show, but in all fairness I didn't rip it myself. Anyone that wants it let me know!

I want a copy. I have to admit, seeing that Motorweek episode on the PBS channel got me off the stump and into a new TDI.
