Sure VW deserve credit, however they aren't driving it forward in a way like Audi (Who are owned by VW and share development labs at Wolfsburg) are seen to be doing.
VW could have easily decided at management level that they not Audi would have entered Le Mans and won it with a diesel, it'd have been the same diesel that Audi took but they have obviously taken a view that they won't be seen as the diesel pioneer within the Volkswagen Audi Group which also encompasses Seat, Bugatti, Bentley, Skoda etc... I have a Mercedes Benz Diesel which I'm quite pleased with but will be looking at the Honda diesel next time which is far better than the current crop from most other manufacturers. In Turkey and the US I drive a petrol but in the UK always diesel with the way the tax system favours them. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Leland F.

BTW, I think VW deserves a little more respect in her effort in bringing affordable, small diesel autos to the U.S., don't you think?
