Diesel Automobiles

What are all of the Diesel Auto's currently available brand new in the
United States?

Please finish this list:

1. Jetta
2. Golf
3. Passat
4. Full sized Ford Pickup trucks
5. Full sized GM Pickup trucks
6. Full sized Dodge Pickup trucks


Is that it? Mercedes quit offering? The VW does not offer the Tourage
with the diesel V10 option any longer from what I have heard.

No, they offer E320 CDI . $50,000+, no manual trans.
I don't know or care about what they've got in the M class now.

Jeep has this the Liberty diesel.... 2.8l 4, 160 bhp, 295 lb/ft, 5sp auto
only.

that took me like 30 seconds with google. try it, you'll like it.

The manual transmission is so important though.

And that's right, I wonder how I could have spaced the VW new beetle
TDI.

I'm surprised that Mercedes still offeres a Diesel option. Is it worth
it; does it come with an AWD option?

BTW - The Jeep Liberty is ugly as sin, on par with toyotas, hondas, and
nissans.

Well... it is basically the same car as the A4 Golf/Jetta, just uglier
and less practical. So I can see how you'd overlook it

Not sure, but I seriously doubt any M-B products have a manual
transmixer outside of the "sporty" models (for a while there, they
didn't offer *any* manuals at all in the US) they have quite a bit of
experience with Diesel engines however so I wouldn't be too worried
about reliability.

No AWD on the Merc, RWD only. This is also the ONLY Merc model (out of like
40) that this motor is available on in the US. This car cannot be sold in
Calif, Mass., maine and a couple other states. If you need a diesel, wait a
couple years until we get the same formulation (low sulfur?) diesel fuel
over here as they do in the EU. I believe the fuel differences between the
countries coupled with a handful of states over here not letting
manufacturers sell diesels in their territory weighs heavily on the minds of
the bean counters who withhold diesels from the US.

I'm considering the Jetta Wagon TDI w/manual trans. I'm not sure it
it's possible to buy one in that type of configuration though. I know
it's not RWD or AWD, but you can't have everything ya know.
