" Germany's top court recently paved the way for major cities to ban diesel vehicles, and other cities and countries are looking to do the same."
Doesn't sound like a place for bmw to invest a lot of money in right now does it ?
Here is how things are going at "JLR".

The company, which is heavily reliant on diesel sales in UK and Europe, has been hit by the political backlash against the fuel that has seen some cities consider banning older diesel engines and governments increase taxes.
In the UK, diesel sales currently account for less than a third of new car sales, compared with more than half four years ago, and new taxes that came into force last month are expected to accelerate the decline.
JLR blamed the diesel collapse for a decision last month to cut 1,000 jobs at its British factories. |
Good diesels are dinosaurs !
