    The final oil-burner (Volvo)

    "Volvo is living up to the promise it made last year when it announced to end production of vehicles powered by diesel engines in early 2024. This XC90 assembled at the company's Torslanda factory is the final oil-burner produced by the Swedish automaker, ending an era that started 45 years ago. The blue SUV won't be heading to a customer since it'll go into a museum for posterity.." link

    They're already struggling for market share, and the PoleStar experiment went so well, and they decide to alienate even more of their customer base. Brilliant. Guess they want to follow on in the SAAB tradition and just fade away. Only GM can't afford to buy them.

    Could make a return yet. I can see the ads now. "For those who need it, We have developed our new ultra efficient and ultra clean diesel. Using the latest technological advances since we stopped producing internal combustion engines our latest diesels will give you the freedom you have been missing."
    Regarding the new TOYOTA Land Cruiser. I saw a brief precise of forth coming tests by journalists. The full tests to be released later. One thing he did say was that TOYOTA are pushing the get you anywhere and get you back capabilities of the Land Cruiser and the virtues of having a diesel engine. This is ironic as in adverts for their cars they are saying "leave diesel behind"....
    Looks like they recognise that there are cases when good old diesel just cannot be bettered. (Land Rover INGENIUM and TDV6 engines excluded)
