Just a quick question for you on the Volkswagen emissions scandal...

Just a quick question for you guys to chew on. This emissions scandal should also be subject to the other subsidiaries that they own including Skoda, Seat, Audi, Porsche, MAN and Scania Trucks there are at least twelve other vehicle manufactures that they own. In my personal view as I'm very old school is that all diesels whether brand new or twenty years old are basically oil burners and will emit more pollutants than any petrol vehicle and it does not matter what car manufactures do to try and clean them up using filters and electronics it's a diesel. I have never been impressed with these 'modern' oil burners as I seen more black smoke come out of a 64 plate one than lets say one built in 1994! I think all manufactures should be checked to make it fair. You are probably aware but Paris will be banning diesels in 2020. What is you view on this?

It's confined to the 2.0 TDI engines and maybe the 3.0 TDI engines that use AdBlue. But basically you're right.
