    Are they the things that sound like a bag of bolts?

      yes and that's the problem to get the low revs grunt from a petrol that you have in a diesel you need a monster petrol and then the consumption is sky high

      look at the SQ7, 4 litre v8 diesel with 40mpg

      what's not to like ?


      and SAS, we were in the smoke last week, for all of 24 hours, we noticed that an evening walking around central London left visible dirt on our faces

      I strongly recommend you to move to the country, it's not healthy in Laaandan

      Milan.

            Blimey. I've just discovered the even Bentley sells a diesel. What on earth is happening?

            I was brought up a good little lad and, therefore, have never owned a diesel (shudder).

                and besides, those petrols never have the low revs grunt that modern high performance diesels have, and you have to rev the bollocks out of petrols to get them to do anything and at those high revs it's never a pleasant experience inside the cabin

                This car is probably the best glimpse into the future of personal transport. The P100D is the top model of the X range so we get an insane 611bhp and 967Nm of torque, translating to a family SUV that'll reach 62mph in the same time as a McLaren 720S - that's 2.9 seconds!

                This car is also brimming with tech. Already installed is all the hardware needed for full self-driving capacity, enhanced autopilot allowing the car to drive itself, find faster lanes and exit motorways. The P100D also has the option of 7 seats, 351 miles of range and soon Smart Summon - allowing you to be able to summon your car with a whistle/click of a button, no more searching aimlessly round car parks!

                Make America great again! Stop buying 19th century German diesel crap.

                  range of 349 miles

                  my current Q7 diesel with 8 speed auto and 100l fuel tank will do 600 miles on a tank at 100mph with the car fully loaded

                  Do the maths

                    That's just old thinking...

                    The little 2 litre petrol engine in the current John Cooper works Mini pulls like a train and is as fast as my 3.5 litre SL.

                    And is so damn smooth it's upsetting...

                    No real need to buy large engines anymore

                    The SQ7 is asking for trouble. It will get killed by the high priests of emissions before its even run in...

                    Unless you live in a cave you can't have missed the fake mass horror of all the various countries that are claiming they were fooled by diesel.
