DOOM: diesels

[caffeine man]

who is driving diesel Hondas though? I never saw many on the motorways. Probably a lot to do with Honda diesels not being very desirable with British company car drivers.

I will be more impressed if BMW, Audi, and Mercedes talk about taking away their diesel company cars. They make up most company cars on motorways that I see.

“ Diesel cars have been withdrawn from sale by a leading manufacturer in the clearest sign yet that their days on British roads are numbered.

The Times has learnt that Honda has stopped selling new diesel cars, with the last vehicles expected to be out of dealerships within a few weeks.

The Japanese company is the biggest manufacturer to date to ditch diesel in Britain after bringing forward plans to switch to 100 per cent green technology in the next two years.”

It depends who makes the engine; Peugeot Citroen make a various Diesel engines for BMW, Ford, Fiat, and various Japanese cars.

Amazing.. hopefully dealers will start making similar announcements for petrol cars in 5 years or so.

I think some have already - well more accurately have said they are already setting end dates for petrol, ceasing R&D on new models. I'm sure one of the big brands announced they are no longer developing new petrol/diesel cars at all (not sure if they include hybrids) though I forget who.
