I’ve been searching the internets without much success, so I’m hoping someone in-the-know is out there. I’m interested in finding out if/when VW will be re-introducing the Passat TDI to the Americas. For me this would be the perfect family hauler, lots of room and mpg.
The only article I could find on this was from 2006 - which I totally disregard since the economic landscape has now changed.
Thanks for any insight!
Check out TDIClub.
Someone there will have any information that is available.
