A 70 mpg Golf hybrid: Has VW finally committed to hybrids?

Will VW bring a Golf diesel hybrid to America?

VW has been a little wishy-washy regarding VW hybrid vehicles, but all of that might finally be over. According to numerous reports, VW has virtually committed to a new 70 mpg Golf Diesel hybrid, which is supposed to debut next week at the Geneva Auto Show. Until then, however, there are few details about the vehicle or about the potential of seeing this hybrid in the US.

Regardless, the competition in the hybrid vehicles segment is really heating up and around 2010, hybrids are going to become a major driver of the auto industry.

I highly doubt VW will deliver anywhere close to when it is proposing to deliver. I've never believed anything VW said particularly after the slew of delivery failures and delays it has had in its history.

We'll see I guess.

Admittedly, I always said it would be nice to have a hybrid GTI...even if it is diesel...with DSG it would be a nice package.
