2010 Golf sales, 30% will be Diesel

Just an interesting stat I wanted to pass along. VW is expecting 30% of the new 2010 Golf sales to be diesel. Stefan Jacoby, CEO of Volkswagen Group of America, is quoted in Automotive News that about 50 percent of Jetta wagon sales and 30 percent of Jetta sedans are diesels.

I found this interesting in the since that Chevy has cancelled there 1/2-ton diesel pick-up. And nobody else wants to get into the diesel game besides Mercedes-Benz and VW. What a shame, American will fall in love with the torque and better gas mileage, no matter what the price of diesel is.
