More info on diesel-hybrid Golf

by Hilary on March 9th, 2008

Prospective owners may be disappointed to learn the recently hyped Volkswagen Golf won’t be hitting US soil for several years, and a hefty chunk of cash. According to AutoblogGreen, Volkswagen is projecting fuel efficiency to ring in at nearly 70 mpg.  Wired’s running photos, and some extra tidbits from the Geneva Auto Show - including the fact that VW is saying this is strictly a concept [read: fantasy] car though other sources claim production is underway.

While no figures are being named at the moment, CNNMoney.com has an article detailing what it will take to a) be sold in the US, b) sold at an affordable cost. Will the diesel hybrid be a hit in Europe? We yanks can only hope. It seems the only way N.A. buyers will get a chance.

No word yet on whether it will run on bio-diesel or not. :p biodieselpumps.jpg
