A recent flight into Geneva has got me thinking a bit. On walking out of the airport I noticed that the taxi rank consisted of mostly older large saloons (S Class, LS400, E Class and the like) all of which appeared to be petrol and in immaculate condition, the type of which is now becoming scarce in the UK.
I also noticed during our transfer to the French Alps that the cars on Swiss roads were not as new as I might have imagained (for such a wealthy place) and were again immaculate, like the 1983 Sierra that we pulled up alongside at the lights; I did'nt get the impression that it was someone's pampered classic either.
So a couple of things that I am curious to know:
1) Is Diesel not all that common in CH?
2) Is there any particular reason why the cars appear to be in such better condition (and not it would seem just the taxis)?
Hope someone can enlighten me!
