It seems like the high demand for the Jetta TDI convinced Volkswagen to bring diesel engines for more of its US line-up. VW of America Communications Director Steve Keyes told Autobloggreen that the next car to get a diesel will be the Touareg, in March or April 2009, while the Golf VI, which will be marketed as Rabbit, because Americans like it more, will get a 2.0 liter TDI powerplant in the fall of 2009. Unfortunately, there’s also some bad news, especially for Tiguan fans. The mid-sized SUV won’t be getting a diesel engine anytime soon, because, due to the car’s extra weight, VW would have to make some changes to the powertrain in order to fit the 2.0 liter engine on the car.
