more complex (I'm comparing to new 211hp/350Nm 2.0TSFI), problems with cold start, and what do you get? More torque on lower RPMs and that's it?

I would understand demand for 170hp 2.0TDI in order to save fuel.

because I want one. and I can pay cash. - Rocky-in-Connecticut 2008-05-23 07:35:37 (207 views)

"I'll pay cash" is not a great sales pitch to either the dealer or the manufacturer. . - Europa 2008-05-29 10:00:52 (118 views)

add me to that list. TDI + Q5 = sale. 3.2L V6 + Q5 = FAIL - AutoUnionQ7 2008-05-26 14:33:54 (100 views)

out of all Audi engines, the 3.2L v6 is the LEAST desirable. - Rocky-in-Connecticut 2008-05-26 18:46:49 (130 views)

Exactly my ideas. Forget the gas, just bring over the 2.0TDI and the 3L TDI, and they will sell tons - AutoUnionQ7 2008-05-31 06:17:40 (60 views)

you need more than 1 person - chewym 2008-05-24 22:46:04 (81 views)

paying its price in Euros which will be twice as much as US buyers are paying - DimaA6_ABC_Kiev 2008-05-24 02:17:21 (116 views)

Not a single one of the competitors mentioned will be sold as a diesel - chewym 2008-05-22 22:36:59 (173 views)
