Why don't diesel exhaust point downward anymore?

Unless their fumes are suddenly not as harmful.

I still see them belching out the same black smoke what gives.

The cynic in me says because there used to be a uncool sigma with diesels. Now it's superficial why they don't point downward.

Going by the VW scandal, my cynical view might be right

But don't owners remove DPF? For performance

Well i do hope they return to downward. New or old diesel, immediately they accelerate all the deposits land on my car, annoying if I've just washed it.

I really do wish Audi ands Volvo even Ford would stop making diesels with S-Line or R-line it's encouraging them
I used to be able to tell a ST220 only to get closer and be disappointed lol

Absolute bks.

I meant accelerate hard. Normal driving of course they don't. Even worse if ( why would you) "tuned"
