If you live anywhere near Autobahn 40 in Germany you'd better think twice before buying a diesel car...

Here in Holland more and more cities move towards banning diesels of a certain age, or altogether, in order to meet the micro particulate and NOx air pollution standards.
Recent research has shown micro particulates are far more harmful than was previously assumed, so there's no turning back this trend. Diesel is on its way out, especially in densely populated areas.
