The delayed new fifty-state legal VW Jetta CleanTDI should start to show up at U.S. and Canadian dealers in June. AutoblogGreen indicated that the first 1,000 diesel Jettas will start to show up, but that each dealer will only be allocated 1 car as a demonstrator. The test drives will be used to re-introduce VW TDI diesels to North America after a longer than expected hiatus. The blog post mentioned that Volkswagen would start "shipping cars to dealers in earnest for sale to any and all. No pricing yet but VW has previously indicated that the diesel would run about $2,000 extra just like the previous-generation model."

Pricing for New Jetta TDI
Jetta TDI production will commence in January of 2008, with U.S. availability scheduled for May of '08, at a starting price of about $23,000 and a typically equipped car listing for $25,000, which is in line with the outgoing model, according to spokesman Keith Price.
