They have the SE in the TDI. That's the model I have. The TDI adds a couple of things but not much. On the website the gas SE sportwagon has an MSRP of $24,885 and the TDI Sportwagon has an MSRP of $26,565. The only thing the TDI has that the SE gas modesl doesn't is alloy wheels, rearview camera, 115 volt power outlet, and a diesel engine.
It seems as though the Sportwagen is packaged differently, and I'm not interested in one of those. In the sedan they don't have an SE TDI. They do list a TDI "value edition" that looks to be optioned similarly to the SE but it's still about $2500 more. I'll just have to drive the two and see which one I like better. The mileage figures you are giving for the TDI are very impressive, and make the diesel option pencil out very well.
