    Mazda is another dropping Diesel, including the Mazda 6.

    Part of it, is the fact small car sales prices can't absorb the cost of improved emission controls. Exhaust after treatment can be so expensive it is not worth the redesigns, due to low diesel sales.

    When I collected my new X1 petrol on 30th September, the dealer said that he could order a new X1 diesel and it would go into production very soon. He had just taken an order for a new X1 petrol and there was no forecast date and it would be sometime after April 2021.

    Yep, same with that VRS that I looked at last week.

    SKODA focussing on the hybrid and petrol versions first.
