I just gave the local dealership my annual phone call:

me) Hi - did you get the new TDI's?
dlr) Sure did - come on over
me) Well, wait a second. Can I get a Passat TDI with a manual tranny yet?
dlr) Um. No...
me) Can I get a Golf TDI with leather or leatherette?
dlr) Er, no... cloth only. But how about a Jetta?
me) No thanks. Golf TDI or Passat TDI. Manual tranny, leather or
leatherette.
dlr) But
me) Bye
