and VW can import a diesel Jetta, Golf, Passat, and Touareg, (sp?)...

This little car is excellent, inside (very nice to drive) outside (nice

others (so not 'trendy')
and mechanical and electrical (this includes the engine), a real comfort
to drive.

Also check out the Smart Forfour and the Smart Roadster.
This is the normal smart, and the forfour and the roadster are even

Shifting gears, if i'm right, by the way is user selectable at any time
with two choices: automatic or by hand, in racestyle, so meaning that
