50-State VW Jetta TDI for 2008




After a yearlong hiatus due to tightening emissions standards on diesel cars, a diesel-powered Volkswagen Jetta will be back on sale for the 2008 model year. VW unveiled the new Jetta TDI – for turbocharged direct injection – at the recent Washington, D.C. Auto Show. The company is calling this their cleanest diesel ever: The new Jetta TDI will meet emissions standards in all 50 states, including the Tier 2/Bin 5 or LEV II requirement that limits nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions to 0.05 g/mile – the same standard that pushed the previous Jetta TDI out of the market for 2007.

Perhaps most significantly, the new Jetta TDI meets 50-state regulations without resorting to the use of urea injection to neutralize NOx emissions. Instead, a nitrogen oxide storage catalyst reduces NOx emissions by up to 90 percent...>

2. That is good news

If they would bring back the station wagon, I would be tempted to change brands.
