The reason VWs dont sell well is because they are more expensive than competition and get worse mileage. With the TDI Jetta you'd pay almost $25K for a car the size of a Corolla, and a diesel motor. As almost to contradict VWs old motto, its not what the people want...

I read in an online article that during Cash for Clunkers several people traded their old SUVs like Explorers and Suburbans for Jetta TDI Sportwagons because of the very high gas mileage and large amount of space. Diesel is a temporary answer for fueleconomy.
