Is there really such a thing as a diesel-powered performance hatchback? We got behind the wheel of the upcoming 2015 Volkswagen Golf GTD to find out.

Big fan of diesel in general, myself. Just wish they brought diesel taxes in line with gas taxes (.06 more per gallon Federal tax).
When I am in the wrong gear or get a shift I don't want in a AT equipped car, I get mad at equipment that I paid for that failed to meet its design goal.
That is a big difference and why I almost always prefer a MT. I can take my shortcoming. The shortcomings of technology are extremely frustrating.
The price for the 320d is £2000 ($3000) more than the 320i but about £1000 ($1500) cheaper then the 328i. the 335i is well over £4000 more. Yet in the USA the 320d (your 328d) is nearly $2000 MORE then the 328i ! Obviously there are tax differences but selling the car for $3000 more in the usa seems bizarre particularly as fuel there is so much cheaper. Surely it cant cost that to convert it to us emissions seems like a price gouge
