2008 Geneva Motor Show - Passat TSI EcoFuel Variant

[phaeton]

The Passat Estate TSI EcoFuel being premiered in Geneva marks the beginning of a new era for natural-gas-fuelled automobiles. Until now, passenger cars operated using eco-friendly, low-consumption natural gas have tended to be "mild mannered". The Passat changes that once and for all with its 110-kW / 150-PS TSI engines. And yet the direct-injection turbo engine in the Passat, specifically designed to run on natural gas, consumes no more than 5.2 kilograms of gas per 100 kilometres. The Passat and the Passat Estate TSI EcoFuel are due to be launched on the market around year-end.

hmm - new dash colours

sounds like a pretty cool car. If it ever makes it here I wonder if it will be classified as a "high performance" car because it's petrol turbo?
