CHECK OUT THE NEW DIESEL JETTA: www.edmunds.com For those alternative-fuel-conscious, carbon-conscientious driving enthusiasts among us, the big news from Volkswagen is electric, mainly because it has introduced a car that isn’t. The 2009 Volkswagen Jetta TDI Clean Diesel (yep, that’s its official name) is the first diesel-powered new car to be certified for sale across the entire US — including California and the four states that piggyback their emissions regulations on the Golden State since they all turned up their tailpipe-sniffing noses at everyone else in 2006. So it was probably no mere coincidence that Volkswagen chose Santa Monica, California, as the site for the introduction of the 2009 Volkswagen Jetta TDI. And as we later tested the Jetta TDI near our Santa Monica office by driving the Pacific Coast Highway and the canyon roads of Malibu, we were happy to flaunt this turbodiesel’s new clean-and-green status in the backyard of so many Prius-driving members of the celebrity set.
