The government have said that EU6 diesels won't be affected by the upcoming announcements in the Autumn statement.
The London toxicity charge, which starts October 23rd, will affect cars that are below EU4 emmision standards at £10 a day, on top of the C-Charge.
The government is expected to give permission (pass the buck) to local authorities that have higher pollution levels (are desperate for cash) to set up their own low emmision zones and charge for the privelage as a last (first) option in an attempt to reduce NOX levels. I guess this will run on similar parameters to the London one.
I'm holding with my EU5 CD at the moment to see what they do. It's already suffered most of it's depreciation anyway, so what the hell.
Thinking about it I had heard of the pass the buck situation recently... there are some really bad diesel polluters about so getting rid of them can only be a good thing. Thanks for the info.

Just speced à Cayenne S (new) decent spec came in at £96.5k. Had an option for ceramic coated brakes which is a new one to me
where is the configurator for the new cayenne? Saj
The prices you guys have specced your new model Cayenne S is verging on the ridiculous imo and concurs with my previous post. It takes a great deal of willpower to exercise restraint when speccing a new depreciating Porsche as opposed to a non depreciating GT Porsche which you need to spec highly for resale.
I work on a strict rule of thumb where i limit money spent on options to a max 15% to avoid taking a bath on resale time, the exception being my imminent GT3 where i've spent 18% on options.On my new GTS i managed to keep it to 10% and i still have all the essential resale options.
Sorry as i've gone completely off topic but nearly £100k on a Cayenne S is taking the mickey imho..
[quote=pete]I have an S on order from Reading to replace my '14 V6 Diesel. My "sensible" spec comes in at 85k, but that's without PDCC, PTV or rear wheel steering. I'll reserve judgement on how much money to throw at the chassis (over and above air) when I've driven one

I'd wait for the turbo as it won't be much more and will come spec'd well from the off.

It does seem high on the £ front, but I suppose somebody has to pay for the new gearbox, engine, standard LED headlights, parking sensors, live traffic feed and bigger alloys.
How are you guys doing the currency conversion, are you taking off any German tax and adding 20% UK VAT or what?

I was using a link from my OPC to a UK £ based configuratorWhat colours does the UK site have? The German one doesn't have Meteor Grey, and I was expecting Agate Grey to make an appearance too.
