The performance of diesel car's in recent years has been quite literally miraculous. If you knew a little bit about engines you would know that something was a off for there to have been such a dramatic improvement in power, efficiency, and emissions at no apparent cost. Diesel has traditionally not been the most powerful choice so for the power to be comparable was very fishy. Now just about every single diesel manufacture is being investigate from Europe to Japan for cheating. Initial reports are already showing that Mercedes, Toyota, and plenty of other players all have significantly worse emissions and efficiency.
Europe is cracking down on diesel, and they're going to remove tax breaks that cheating manufactures enjoyed. Anne Hidalgo, the mayor of Paris, is talking about ban these vehicles from the city by 2020. This is the end of european diesel cars.
