As far as VW diesels are concerned it's always been fairly easy to beat the EPA ratings, and from what I've read over at TDIclub of peoples who have test driven the car, the new engine walks the walk in regards to FE and power figures.

The comment about automatics should be more like "diesels are bad for cheaply made automatic transmissions". Build it strong enough and there won't be any problems.
