This sort of thing does worry me, but I want a new car but I just know that won't be long before fuel will be £2 per litre and having a decent petrol car would be just daft, so would not surprise me at all if vw do that, only seems to be bm who are trying to work around the problem by introducing good petrol engines that are efficient ( new 328 sounds like a fantastic engine). I think it will have to be a blue motion and a toy for me as these fast diesels do nothing for me personally.
Me too, I can see us getting an Up! as a run-around for the Mrs, and the Golf will only come out at weekends. (at least the Monza 2's would stop meeting the kerb on a weekly basis)
