The 235mpg VW 1L will become reality in 2010, or so VW says.  VW named the 1L after its usage of 1L/100 km of fuel.  Power, such as it is, will come courtesy of a tiny 0.3-liter engine, pushing the car to a top speed of around 75 mph.

If VW actually creates the VW 1L on time I still wont hold my breath for it to show up in the US

Lets start with the good news: A 2.0-liter TSI diesel availible to US buyers delivering 200 horsepower at 5100 rpm and 206 pound-feet of torque starting from 1800 rpm. with this motor, VW says the Passat CC is capable of reaching 62 mph in 7.6 seconds.

The technology is loaded, pretty much everything VW has to offer will be on it.

The bad is that VW decided there was a hole to fill between the Passat and the upcoming new Phaeton and decided to make the formally known as Passat CC to CC, silly.  Its also "a four door coupe", someone needs to inform VW of the rules a coupe is two doors.

In another disappointing announcement of a new TDI, the Audi Q7 will be available in a V12 TDI.  Disappointing  because there is no mention of ever bringing it to the US.  Amazing feats of engineering having he twin-turbo V12 TDI conform to the Euro 5 emissions class which should come into force in 2010. Fuel economy is estimated at nearly 20 mpg.

The Q7 comes equipped with a 6.0-liter engine similar to the one featured in R10 Le Mans racing car. It produces 500 horsepower and 758 pound-feet of torque (1000 Nm). The crossover is capable of hitting 62 mph in 5.5 seconds, with a limited top speed of 155 mph.
