Volkswagen under investigation over illegal software that masks pollution

There is a problem caused by these headlines. In the UK, Land Rover is in trouble and finding it hard to sell their crap, and part of the reason they are putting forward, is that there is a down turn in demand for their diesel power vehicles, which is all of them.

It may only be headlines at this time, but it has an effect on what people think they should be buying and what they should avoid.

Looks like Hamburg and Oslo is leading the world to ban Diesels

No everyone has moved on.

A few people lost their jobs.
