Why do I hardly ever see a VW advertisement promoting the TDI? One would think with the gas prices so high that they could sell a TON of these things now. I realize that for many people diesels have a bad reputation, but they could eliminate a bunch of those misconceptions also.
Case in point. I have a good friend who was literally a day away from buying a hybrid. I told him about the TDI and he had never even heard of it before. A week later he's driving a Golf TDI.
Is there something I'm missing here?
TDI advertising question......been wondering for a long time

I saw them somewhere, can't remember the site but it listed all cars. The TDIs were showing as way dirtier than the gas equivalent but I question the rating. I have heard that TDIs put out less of many types of emissions than their diesel couterparts, but particulates are higher. I would Google for emissions ratings of passenger cars or something similar, you should be able to find something.
I have to believe I am putting out less emissions with my 06 TDI than with my '92 F150, if nothing else by getting 45 mpg vs 15 mpg.
