I don't think it's the engines that have a bad rep in the USA - it's everything else. Accessories, electrical system, transmission. And from what I've heard, the US network of dealers leaves a bit to be desired - I heard the refrain "when you buy a new VW, you're buying a new car without a warranty," more than once at TDIClub.com.
