250Nm?? That's 30Nm less than the GTI. Not bad for something that is greener than the Prius, drives well too.

The question is how well will the VW Golf BlueMotion do on the current EPA 2008 fuel economy test? The EPA 2008 test is probably the most stringent test in the world, which reflects more realistic driving styles than the European fuel economy test. Based on my guess, the VW BlueMotion Golf may not get much better fuel economy than a standard Golf TDI with the 140 bhp TDI engine, since American drivers like to rev the engine more, which negates the benefits of BlueMotion technology.

I don't rev my engine. This car has as much or more power than all the models it would compete with, i.e., Scion xD, Honda Fit, Chevy Aveo, Chevy Cobalt. ...And... doubles the mileage. Even if they over-estimated (EPA underestimates by 15%, on average for diesels), hello, the gas mileage is still almost double. It is a better product and it looks better. Hard to make excuses not to bring it here and soon (plenty of factories where I'm sure employees would appreciate the work).
