Diesel is maybe cheaper to produce than Gasoline(here in Finland diesel is cheaper than gasoline) but it needs about 15% more oil to produce than the same amount of gasoline.
Europe *may* be getting German-built VW's. The majority of the VW's here are built in Mexico/Brazil and they do suffer quite a few reliability issues. There was a 98 Jetta Wolfsburg in my family that was nothing but trouble. Obviously, one opinion doth not make unanimity but I have heard very similar stories pretty unanimously from other VW owners.
