I'm pretty positive the TDIs will pretty much sell themselves for sticker and up.
Especially since used 2006 TDIs are listing for $1000 to $2000 above brand new MSRP.

Yeah, but that does no good if the public doesn't know they can buy it. Hence the "Not a concept car!" labeling.

Yes, I'm sure there will be thousands of these left on dealer lots with $4 gas.

I think that might be the point. With gas running $4 and diesel running nearly $5 here in Texas, consumers are going to have to really do the math to see if it makes sense for them. I'm not convinced diesel right now is going to win the hearts of Americans over like I thought it would 2-3 years ago.

Americans can't do math. All they see is that diesel is on average .50-60 cents more expensive than premium and they'll say "no thanks." They'll consider a Prius before they will a TDI, unfortunately.

and for most people prius will make more sense, as it is a lot more efficient in stop and go traffic.
then again, 800mi range of a TDI passat wagon a friend owns is truly awesome.

So will there be EPA import quotas on these like there were on the '06 models? Otherwise, with the $/euro exchange rate being so poor, will VW "cap their losses" by only importing a limited number?When I bought my '04 Passat wagon new, I could pay full MSRP for one of the few diesel models they brought in, or get a gasoline model for $5000 off. The choice was quite easy then.

Check- get out and drive one. It won't be as sporty as your Maxima, but it delivers a good amount of driver satisfaction.
I rally the hell out of mine and still return excellent fuel consumption figures.

While that appears impressive on the surface, that's mostly a result of the car's huge fuel tank. (18.5 gallons, IIRC).
Hell, my $16k gas Sonata will do over 600 miles per tank (17.7 gallons * 35 MPG) if you keep it under 65 on the highway.
