(Starts searching the bookmarks for the link stating VW Common rail engines thingy)
Link: VW Media Services VW (including Audi) and DaimlerChrysler (especially Mercedes-Benz) are cooperating on the diesel engine front in a programme called ''Bluetec" (VW is sticking to the name "Clean TDI" while DaimlerChrysler is using the ''Bluetec'' name it seems) to produce new emission-cleaning technology aimed especially at reducing Nitrogen Oxides. Common rail is integral to this which is largely why VW is moving to it. They are serious about cracking the North American market and it looks to be a great step forward that gives them a chance of doing so as well as having a big impact in other markets including Europe.
