Diesel's are only part of the future...and modern diesels are superb to drive with. Which is something many would never have thought they's say 20 years ago.
But diesels are still, by far the dirtiest engines as far as emissions go....and that aspect may be the killer for their long term future if emissions rules keep getting stricter and stricter.
I'm also surprised there arent more automatics around too. For daily driver, traffic, knocking about....a well developed auto is great...although a bad one can be horrific.
From an emissions standpoint too, an auto should be better as it could help remove some driver madness if there were variable driving modes available for the box.
But as Chip says. All these things are great when they work. One little problem on these fancy cars...and you could be faced with a bill the price of a small sporty petrol car.
And that's just one repair...
