Samurai 20V Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Move to South Africa, we have Euro 2 emissions as regulation, diesels everywhere.. No MOT either. Just be prepared for your car to be stolen, so the above doesnt matter anyway.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 don't be suckered in its a double bluff, government say buy diesel everyone does they loose loads of revenue,then they say buy petrol to boost it as you just don't get the same mpg, next they will say they was wrong again mining and disposing of batteries is far more detrimental to health buy a diesel. all jokes aside a denigrator engine that's makes the power to run a electric motor is more efficient then forward momentum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Just watching the Geneva Show and Toyota's presentation - and they've just announced that they won't be producing and selling diesels anymore. Where one leads, others follow. Good luck selling those 2nd hand diesels soon - scrap value only! Auris launched - just waiting for the 'MKV BMW thing' to get announced. Boring presentation though, very boring! Lexus got rid of diesels a while back so it was only a matter of time before Toyota followed suit !

Bobbeh Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Lexus got rid of diesels a while back so it was only a matter of time before Toyota followed suit ! Toyotas biggest market (US) couldn't give a monkeys about Diesel, another reason why they pursued Hybrids instead. Euro (Germany + France) were the big diesel believers.

Thanks,only had it about three weeks,bought it for doing school run and kids shopping etc,as a town driving car I love it,if I had the cash would have gone for the new model with the extra range but it does everything I need, and best of all public charging points in Scotland are for now free.So no charge for road tax and no charge for fuel makes it a no brainer:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
