Audi USA... people on all the boards here are calling for diesel variants to be in the US now across all models. Not 3 years from now.

BMW seems to be heeding this call in bringing diesel THIS year to certain interesting models. They don't seem to have a problem with margins, regulations, or any other poor excuse. They just seem to get the job done. And now they are rolling out a diesel/hybrid concept at Geneva.

Audi, do I need to take the Q5 off my shopping list to replace my current S6? Do I need to visit my local BMW dealer in order to acquire a diesel? I know that Audi USA monitors these boards from time to time. Remember, never follow.<ul><li><a href="http://www.motorauthority.com/news/concept-cars/bmw-x5-diesel-hybrid-concept-1-series-tii-and-m3-convertible-headed-to-geneva/">http://www.motorauthority.com/news/concept-cars/bmw-x5-diesel-hybrid-concept-1-series-tii-and-m3-converti

They're telling us what we want. Who's running the show down in VA, a bunch of arogant Germans again?

Oh, by the way, I'm not a racist when I make a remark like that. Why? Because I'm 50% Austrian, 25% German and 25% Irish. I grew up with 1st generation German immigrants and have worked most of my life for German companies.

Mini has start/stop in Europe, but it didn't come here as it would do nothing.
