Audi Plans To Add Diesels To Almost Every Line In The US

Audi will add diesel variants to every volume product in the United States within five years as it attempts to meet stricter fuel economy targets while satisfying a surprising surge in U.S. dealer demand.

Audi will add diesel versions of the current-generation A8 and A6 sedans as well as the Q5 crossover. The next-generation A4 is likely to receive a four-cylinder diesel engine by 2015.

"We will roll out the technology across the Audi line," said Johan de Nysschen, president of Audi of America, in an interview last week.

The A3 TDI is already available in the US, and is a real hot seller.

Hopefully they will bring the sixes to the A4 and A5 and A6

I'd prefer the 170HP 4 cylinder. My daughter's Jetta has the 140HP version and that thing rocks. 170HP and diesel torque would be outstanding in the A4.

Diesel, hybrid, electric, hydrogen, doesn't matter. As long as we're getting alternatives to the existing fuel technology, I'm fine with it.
