I think VW intend on developing new diesels for the Chinese and South American markets as they are not up there own arses or make their populations feel guilty about exhaling Carbon Dioxide like we do in Europe and the US. Unnecessary regulations have totally ####ed the first world, for the last 50 years the split of wealth has been 80% in the first world and the remaining 20% spread out in underdeveloped countries, in the next 20 years it is speculated to shift the other way 60/40, all because we have allowed ourselves to be ruled and manipulated by pointless environmental taxes, regulations and general soppy liberal socialism. Our empire is long gone, the US economic empire lasted 60 years and is now on it's last legs,like the Yanks or not our currency is pegged to the dollar and if it crashes ours will follow suit, we are all too busy trying to save the trees and worrying about plastic carrier bags to even notice that the first world is dying economically, the future is speaking Chinese and not worrying about bullplop NOX levels, carrier bags or what colour wheely bin to put a empty can of beans in.
It seems that some unelected bureaucrats really are not interested in just how the dickins the UK will look in 20 years.
Not sure why this ended in a rant, oh well, never mind, breath.........
