Not to mention that the V-10 TDI Toureg will come with an outrageous amount
of torque. . . Something like 550 ass kicking ft/lbs. and about 310~320 hp

This sounds great... for our non-US friends.  According to Autoweek, the
diesel is not coming to the states.  I believe it has to do with us having
the old, dirty diesel fuel compared to Europe's newer, cleaner burning
diesel fuel.  Hopefully our fuel will be similar enough to Europe's in 2006
when our government regulations kick in that we'll be able to start
importing some of the cool diesels that they get.
