Re diesel advantages:* Lots of torque, which means you don't need to scream to 6k RPMs to get haulin'. Personally, I'm all about the low-end grunt and stoplight to stoplight vs the highend powerband* Much better fuel economy - I read an article recently, and I forget where it was, but b/co f the way...

Thanks for all the replies! I just want a TDI Vibe. Eh, I can dream anyhow. The Pasat W8 is pretty sweet, but the price tag is something to be feared.

I haven't had a chance to take the Vibe for a test drive yet, but for those who have it which model would you suggest? Base, ...
