I think i'll get a Toureg with V10 TDI and hopefully with a manual tranny depending on how the economy does and technology improvements, in the next two years.

Or maybe by then Toyota will start importing their Turbodiesels in trucks, or Land Rover, etc.

I'm looking forward to increased diesel options as well.


The issue is IF those diesels are allowed per the new emission standards and IF the companies are willing to invest in meeting those standards. Yeah, I know guys, the fuel quality issue exists too.

Isuzu is ready to bring diesels into the U.S. in their SUV's in late '04/early '05. Mercedes (cars) in '04, Toyota (trucks/SUV's) in '04/'05. Ford and Dodge are ready to launch their light truck/SUV diesels in '04. Ford is considering bringing a TDI Focus from Europe in '04. And, it's old news now that GM has gained leadership control over Isuzu's diesel plants.

If all goes well, the next few years could be REALLY interesting in this area.

Best to y'all
