Interesting article in Autobild comparing the three main players in the estate market.
Road tax in Germany goes on the particle polution so diesels pay a fortune and small petrols almost nothing.

That's English?

And the prize for the most incomprehensible message of 2007 goes to....
Closely followed by the translation

I thought it was on a par with the UK.
I looked last year and for a two litre diesel it was about 300? for road tax vs 120? for a small petrol engine but as they weren't similar cars (Nissan Note vs BMW 320d) not really much of a comparison.
The Germans appear to be following the cost per gramme which is even across the board whereas the UK have gone for bands which can result in a massive cost per gramme between say 165g/km and 166g/km or worse if your new car steps from 225 to 226g/km (I think that's the F to G step but stand to be corrected).

Well that's diesel stuffed then in the medium term if that continues.
With the Japanese and Americans mostly refusing to consider diesels, and the German government taxing them out of the market, that's the three main manufacturing bases favouring petrol -- so where is the diesel push coming from? The French? (Like they have a significant share of the most profitable markets).
