Will North America be cheated again?

[MrDave]

From VWVortex and ultimately Audi,
the new A3 will be available with:
- 2.0-litre TDI, 103 kW (140 bhp), 320 Nm (236 ft-lb.) torque. New: four-valve cylinder head
- 5- or 6-speed manual gearbox, alternatively 6-speed tiptronic
- optional extra: direct shift gearbox DSG with twin clutches
- quattro permanent all-wheel drive

All wheel drive mated to a 6spd, mated to a 16V TDI? And unless you go to europe, you'll probably never see one.

Ok, you may see pictures....

Oh c'mon - that measly engine surely meets Tier II requirements

Isn't that the same engine in the passat which "should" be coming next year?

Here's what I'm talk'n about:
VW Vortex Multivan

Five new engines ensure everyday motoring pleasure: two petrol engines (85 kW / 115 hp or 170 kW / 230 hp) and modern diesel engines ranging from 77 kW / 104 hp to 128 kW / 174 hp. An engine that will ensure special driving pleasure is the newly developed and economical five-cylinder unit injector diesel, with 2.5 liters of cubic capacity. Depending on the desired performance level, this engine offers torque ranging from 340 to 400 Newton meters. Unparalleled to date in the segment for maxi vans is the fact that each of the five- and six-cylinder versions features a six-speed manual or automatic gearbox.

Sliding doors are now included on both sides of the van standard (something not offered on North American Eurovan models).

Ok, you may see pictures....

Give me all wheel drive and I will replace my Vanagon Syncro.
