BlueMotion
All this talk of ultra-frugal cars has me excited. I am constantly making sure I'm driving to the optimum to save fuel. It's a challenge that I love
and some of you just don't understand 
Which is why BlueMotion has me intrigued. I want to find out every detail.
I have a few questions on BlueMotion:
Any word on when the 1.2L TDI concept will be in production? I'm guessing it'll be a Europe-only car for the forseeable future, just like the current 9N3 1.4L BlueMotion was/is.
Will the 1.6L TDI BlueMotion have Start-Stop and Regenerative Braking? If not, why not? This would save heaps on a city run! Although, I tend to drive when it isn't too busy on the roads.
Can anyone tell me why the DSG transmission offers better fuel economy? Or is it just the way they test it favours the DSG more? Is there still hope for the manual?!?!
What transmission/s will be available with the 1.6L TDI BlueMotion? The current 9N3 BlueMotion is only available with a 5-speed manual, but it appears the 7-speed DSG is the preferred box for the 2010 version.
Any other info/tid-bits much appreciated. Happy fuel-reduced motoring.
