Guys this is a 'what if' thread. The "So humor me TCL." gives it away, if the entire premise didn't. Clever girl.



In any case... Some French hot hatch probably. I've been itching for a hot hatch lately so.. Perhaps this?

Renault Megane RS 250 cup. In blue though.
 
It'll take 20 years of driving probably to make up for the cost difference between the diesel and their respective petrol brethren in this scenario.

But yes, someone would probably do it...
But teh midrange Euro diesel torks are worth their weight in gold.
 
Not sure if serious...
I want to see proof of this.

Too good to be true.
if this is all one big joke, if so this is grounds for exile from VWvortex forever OP, better get some proof
I hope this is true... 50% taxation is better than not being able to do it at all! :)
source? call me a pessimist but don't believe this....
Does this is true? :confused:
yeah it's not happening, theres a little thing called the epa and they aren't gonna let just anything on the streets. Not to mention all those wondrous euro diesels wouldn't last 6 months on our **** fuel.
Don't see an "if" anywhere.

Therefore two possibilities: troll or not troll.
We need proof.
Wow guys, is this your first visit to the internet? HYPOTHETICAL.

You are assuming the resale value would be the same as the regular model.
And since when was buying a brand new hybrid or electric or diesel about being frugal?

Based on the OP's hypothetical situation, you could get a base Up! for under $20k.

If I won the lotto tonight, yep. No question. My stock XT gets 18mpg.... :facepalm:
 
OP, you should've known to put "HYPOTHETICALLY" in the thread title. Now you've got a bunch of emotionally devastated car enthusiasts on your hands.

But. Hypothetically, I would do all I could to acquire a Citroen DS3 Racing.
