How come some manufacturers like Opel and Volvo have brought smaller diesel engines to the market and others have not? For instance you can get a 1.6 D Volvo V50 but the VW Jetta only comes with a 1.9TDi engine.
Surely its in VW's interests to start coming up with a smaller diesel engine or have they plans ? Thanks.
Agree Tiger but it is not just a question of taxation. There is lower CO2 emissions and better fuel efficiency on the Volvo 1.6D engine than the Jetta 1.9TDi, if one believes the manufacturers specifications. I would have thought such a massive car producer like VW would also be chasing the 'green' car buyer.
