Can anyone explain why VW gives us Americans so few choices on the engine for the Golf? The mark V came only with the inline 5, and the mark VI is set to have the same crappy fuel economy inline 5 and maybe a 2.0L TDI (which I hope is the common rail 140ps TDI on Volkswagen.co.uk/new/golf). The English VW site has an array of engines to pick from. Why so limited for us? I was originally excited about the prospect of having to pick between the 170ps TSI and the 140ps TDI engines, but that seems to not be the case anymore. Any thoughts?
