[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 7061335, member: 718"] There's new tougher emission standards again from this Autumn, so I doubt that their diesel offerings will be updated. Be interesting to see whether that will include the L200. This is the reason that both VW and Mercedes are ending V6 sales at the same time, although Merc are jacking their pickups in altogether, mainly because very few people were as daft as they thought they'd be an pay for the badge. I predicted this at launch, but Clive, for one, was adamant that they would sell well and were not aimed at me. Well apparently they missed nearly everyone that they did aim for. Yes, there is no doubt that especially with diesels, but also for general safety and fuel economy reasons, many brands are struggling to justify the development costs of vehicles that are getting too expensive to sell at a profit in traditional volumes. On top of which is the inevitable change to alternative fuels, the cost of developing for must be eye-watering. Companies and industries just cannot trade for a profit and many are going bust or scaling down before they go bust. It looks very like a recession to end all recessions is coming our way like the three men of the apocalypse galloping towards us, aided by a deadly virus. [/QUOTE]
