VW to Drop Diesels from MY2007 Lineup in US Due to Emissions Requirements

From the Detroit Free Press comes some disheartening news from VW, maker of the vast majority of diesel passenger cars sold in the US. The models dropped are Jetta, Golf and Beetle, the three best performers in mileage available. Reasons cited are nitrogen oxide emissions which are the world's strongest in the US. Perhaps in the future these TDI models will return.
