  • Ford Grand C-MAX - Diesel dilemma due to Supreme Court pollution case 30 Apr 2015 (Forum)
    I see the Supreme Court has ruled that the UK government has to start reducing NOX pollution levels immediately, which suggests that diesel cars may be taxed heavily and/or prohibited from city centres in the near future. Trouble is I've just last week put a deposit on a new 1.6 diesel Grand C-Max! I got a pretty good deal on the current model with an excellent trade in value for my current car. Otherwise I would have waited for the release of the facelift with the newer engine. It's made even harder by not knowing who the next government will be and what ways they'll try to achieve their target.
