Sad they are thinking of cancelling the Diesel. Those Jettas are on waiting lists at many dealers nationwide.

question is why are Jettas on waiting lists - if they are? VW produces millions of diesels per year, why are few hundreds/thousands waited for in USA?

As VW is slowing down production in Europe, it seems pretty silly that they dont want to produce enough Jettas, unless a. they dont make enough money on them, b. there arent really long waiting lists
