A diesel SEAT won two rounds of the BTCC last weekend.
Diesel in the US
Unfortunately I live in Buffalo NY and am unable to purchase an Eos with the 2.0 Diesel engine in it.
As I understand it the drive-trains on these vehicles meet the US DOT emission requirements and are only unavailable based on a "marketing" decision. I was told by my dealer that the diesel will never be considered sports cars in the US market.
I am exploring what hoops I need to jump through to import a diesel Eos to the US.
Anyone out there have any information that could help? My dealer and VW USA don't seem at all interested in figuring this out.
Thanks all!

I know what you mean. I'm getting my Golf Plus on Monday and I'm hoping the DSG will ease the pain of the diesel rev issue.The only thing I don't like about them is their lack of revability
