It's not released yet. You can look at it on the VW website, but not build and price it yet.

The New 2.0 TDI is not for sale yet. Volkswagon has pushed the release date back several times now. Trying to work the bugs out would be my guess. They probably wont put it on the website until it is released.
My wife and I got a new 06.5 Jetta TDI last fall. Volkswagon made a big run of them before the emmision cut off so no DPF Great car averaging 38-42 with the automatic

Must be a manual tranny! Driving sensibly you can do 50+ mpg.
My 02 got 52.1 mpg on an all hwy, 2500 mile, trip....at 75 mpg!! Often did over 50 mpg around town.
Wish I could get it back from my daughter... but somehow it became hers permanently??

Run a high quality 30wt synthetic... like maybe Amsoil.... for best mileage. Works fine in mine and reduces drag.
