Green Car Journal has named the Volkswagen Jetta TDI 2009 Green Car of the Year. This is the first time a diesel has won, and to take the top honors it had to best serious competition from microcars and hybrids alike. The TDI beat the BMW 335d, Ford Fusion Hybrid, Saturn Vue 2 Mode Hybrid, smart fortwo to take the grand prize. The Jetta TDI is based on the 2.0-liter, turbocharged direct injection engine, which is the first from the company to meet all fifty states diesel emissions requirements. However, this technology comes at a steep price with the base vehicle costing consumers $21,990 and an eight month long waiting list.

Green Car Journal editor and publisher Ron Cogan said, “The 2009 Volkswage Jetta TDI epitomizes what the Green Car of the Year honor is all about. It raises the bar significantly in environmental performance with its EPA estimated 41 mpg highway fuel economy, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, and extremely low tailpipe emissions. This is all the more impressive when you consider the Jetta TDI is a clean diesel, achieving the kind of fuel efficiency offered by gasoline-electric hybrids but in a more affordable way.”

We never thought we'd see the day, but the two door sport hatch Volkswagen Scirocco is back for your driving enjoyment. We saw the teasers of the Scirocco a little while ago, but the overseas embargo has lifted and the gents at World Car Fans were more than happy to run with it. The homage to the original is sporting three different gasoline engines ranging from 122 hp to 200 HP and a single diesel good for 140 hp and 320 Nm of torque, that if you didn't notice is a whopping load of torque for such a small car
