It's early-morning in Geneva, and the press releases are starting their advance from automaker lock-boxes to our green little eyes. The Autoblog writers in Geneva will be covering green announcements for us, but for now we'll make due with official PR from the likes of VW, which just released three announcements about their diesel lineup in Geneva. You can read all three after the jump (aren't we nice?) and here are the highlights:
- Volkswagen will be offering the Touareg with SCR catalytic converter and "one of the cleanest diesel engines " starting in 2008
- New Golf Variant (pictured) to be introduced this summer
- New Passat BlueMotion with fuel economy of 5.1 liters per 100 kilometers, which VW estimates will cost German drivers with an average annual driving distance of 15,000 kilometers, just 68 Euros per month for fuel
- Phaeton with first V6 TDI meets future (2009) Euro-5 standard
Read the details after the break.
