Woodster-
Mercedes seem to be able to make some petrol engines with low enough co2, and I considered another one coz my W124 is bloody great, but modern Mercs don't really do much for me. I might test drive a derv jag in the spring to see if it changes my mind, but I think I'll wait. Apparently the petrol motor is still the Ford Ecoboost, and the new JLR Ingenium petrol engine is yet to be launched. Maybe it will get under the 160 barrier.

The new Jaguar XE is in the company car list at work. I was really tempted, but our company has a frigging 160g/km CO2 cap. That means that none of the petrol-engined models are available.
No matter how good they might be on paper, I'm really not sure I could drive a Jag with a tractor engine.
Pissflaps. 240bhp sounded so much nicer than 180.
