Audi has voiced these plans long ago … they certainly didn't have to wait for BMW to announce anything. Stay with the facts and maybe I'll keep reading this website.

Let's hope so.

Once people get it through their heads that this technology can put out upwards of 50mpg (usually 60-65mpg if you don't drive the thing like you stole it) they won't mind paying that extra 50c a gallon...

I know I won't mind.

By the time 2012 rolls around, they may have a change of heart if the economy does not change course.

From the article:
For the Europeans, Audi will offer two diesel versions of the Q1 including a 1.2 liter TDI that produces 80-hp and a 1.6 liter TDI that produces up to 119-hp.

WHY OH WHY CAN'T YOU SHIP TDI's TO THE US?
