Crnr2Crnr Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 not surprising at all considering their limited sales in the US and North America. have you seen the Polestar lineup? also good news, that will keep increasing the value of my old brick. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd probably be happy to continue, but the complexity of the new emissions systems and the costs, make diesels incredibly expensive to build, maintain and repair. Guys up here are keeping old stuff on the road as long as possible because the new stuff is high tech junk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had some 80's and 90's vw diesels that went hundreds of thousands of trouble free while sipping fuel. Granted they were less hp than my bikes of the day but I'd bring that simplicity back and it would sell., Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
