According to my local dealer there is!

I don't believe them. I think I'm going there after work anyways to look at the GTI. I'm curious.

It's gotta be a mistake, The GTD doesn't have the red bezel, now does it?

That's definitely a mistake. Looks like they just clicked on the wrong engine from the drop down menu when making the listing. They just saw turbo and didn't read the rest.

Correct. The grille on the GTD has chrome, not red. GTi is the only one with red.

It's absolutely a mistake. We don't get a GTI with diesel. Europe does though.

I know, I just thought it was funny.

Though for one glorious second I imagined I was in a world where I could buy a diesel GTI. For that second I was truly happy.

His last entry on his excel sheet must have been "turbo diesel" and he typed in "turbo" and it helpfully filled in the rest. Thanks clippy!

I've heard the GTD is pretty mediocre.
