Audi joining the diesel crowd

auto warrantyAudi is promising by 2008 they will have their first prototype of a diesel auto. The car would be called the Q7. No one really doubts Audi’s technology, but people are wondering why it has taken so long for them to announce it. Clean diesel seems to be a popular alternative of gasoline.

Audi engineers are about two years away from nailing an execution of after-treatment technology that, in concert with low-sulfur diesel fuels, will enable the European Q7’s 3.0L V-6 diesel to meet stringent U.S. federal emissions standards and, more importantly, those in California.

The automaker expects the diesel car to sell 35,000 units in the debut launch in America. And, Audi suggests that the Q7 will retail at$49,000. For me, this does not mean too much because it’s way over my price range. However, with more companies adopting the diesel mindset, cheaper cars may begin featuring the new technology.
