\"Volkswagen<\/a><\/p>\n

Today, during the U.S. debut of the 2011 Volkswagen Touareg<\/a> at the New York auto show, VW of North America CEO Stefan Jacoby confirmed that the upcoming New Mid-Size Sedan (NMS)<\/a> will have a diesel engine option for North America. The NMS, which is the working title for the Passat replacement, most likely will be powered by the current corporate 140-hp, 2.0-liter TDI turbo-diesel. We are crossing our fingers that maybe, just maybe, VW will give us the uprated Euro version which puts out 170 hp.<\/p>\n

While little else is known about the NMS, we can tell you that it will be built at VW’s new plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee, alongside the next Jetta<\/a>, which was previewed by the NCC concept<\/a>. VW previously handed out the above NMS sketch which shows that it will wear the current VW family face, as seen on the latest Golf and Touareg.<\/p>\n

Look for the NMS to debut sometime later this year as a 2011 model; by then we should know its official name. We hope.<\/p>\n
