Ford moving to three-year redesigns to keep things fresh {Autoblog}
Jul 14th 2008 5:20PM refreshing the design every 3 years...I kinda liked knowing that what I'm driving today will still look "new" for at least 4 or 5 years. I think if they got it right from the beginning, then people wouldn't mind waiting 5 years. This design looks like they got it right.

Jun 25th 2008 9:14AM they may have nav in europe, but I bet if you asked them what was more important, nav would be at the bottom of the list and a clean diesel that offers superior mileage at the top.

Jun 24th 2008 5:53PM Ok, so the oil change is $80 vs. around $30 for a regular car. The way I see it, that's the only difference, the rest is VW's usual when it comes to gouging their own customers.

Jun 24th 2008 5:24PM Clean diesel at the bottom of the list???
Americas perfect car:
a) 16 cupholders
b) in-dash nav so you don't have to think or reach for a map
c) auto tranny, preferably one that only has "D" cause we hate changing gears
d) 8 litre engine to move our fat asses from 0-60 in 5 seconds
This is why Europeans have the better cars, North Americans are stupid.

Volkswagen prices 2009 Jetta TDI from $21,990 {Autoblog}
Jun 18th 2008 5:29PM I've owned many cars over the years, one of them a diesel. The diesel was the only one that actually returned epa numbers, and often did better. From my experience, the mileage on gasoline engines suffered more with adverse conditions (heavy foot, weather), whereas with the diesel it always returned great mileage no matter how i treated it.

Jun 18th 2008 5:21PM if regular gas is 5.50, diesel would have to be around $7 a gallon before you consider giving up on it. Until then, you are still saving.
