They've got some pics posted, www.vwvortex.com .
This is the same platform as the new Porsche SUV (sic). It's more of a station wagon on steriods than an SUV, I think.
Some serious technology going on at VW these days but they've got some WACK copyright stuff going on too. :rolleyes:

Is the VW diesel V10 coming to the states?

[Plasticfantastic]

I read on another forum, a canadian dealer said they had received info on the V-10 suggesting that it would be sold there, but I haven't read anything definate about the states getting them.
VW offers several different powertrains that we don't get here. Our fuel is so crappy that the diesels have to be re-tuned to run on our sludge, plus demand is low here, so they usually don't bother to offer diesel options .... sad, really.
