You can get better numbers and way better performance with the Polo.

The states already has the TDI - or at least most of them do, anyways.  
There are lots of other issues with North American fuel besides its (still 
too high although dramatically reduced, sulphur content.)  Cetane value, 
for one, is a minimum of 50 in Europe - however it's only a minimum of 35 
in North America.  Although we did get the 1.9 PD (pumpe deuse) TDI, with 
its increased hp, torque and efficiency this past year, and the 2.0 TDI is 
supposedly in the Passat for 2005, VW must detune their diesel powerplants 
to run propoerly on our crappy fuel.
