That $2000 loyalty-bonus is only for gas and hybrid VW products, as the no-sale order for diesels is still in effect.
Yes, although for the V6 TDI diesel in Touareg which is not on stop-sale , it's not clear in VW's/
Touareg website as to loyalty-bonus having the
gas and hybrid only restriction. (Although dealership giving that amount of discount to unload/move the metal would be no big deal)
Note: VW US is inconsistent (no surprise) throughout their website regarding above, when this loyalty bonus wording is looked at on their website for other VW models showing restriction applying to all models. Below I've shown the wording per VW website for the
Touareg model specifically, it doesn't restrict:
$2,000 Owner Loyalty Bonus*
