Delay of diesel auto new Avensis? - tawse
I notice on HJ's review of the new Avensis that HJ states that the diesel auto will not come out until the Spring?

I assume this date period will now lapse with Toyota mothballing factories in the UK so I assume that a diesel auto will not be seen until later in the year? Or do you think they would have already manufactured them?

Not even sure why I am asking this as I ain't in the marekt to pay 20K plus for one. Just curious.

I saw an advert on the box today for the new Avensis - obviously trying to appeal to the younger owner but the ad was over so quickly I could barely even register it was an ad about a car let alone the make and model.

Some big assumptions there tawse.
I suppose the real answer is none of us know if it will delay the launch of the diesel auto. I suppose if it is a car that appeals to fleets then they will probably get it out sooner rather than later.
I know Subaru delayed the Impreza diesel but Toyota don't have the same problems Subaru do as they build cars close to the customer.
