Renault and PSA have historically developed some of the highest polluting diesel engines ever put into cars / vans.
They also were one of the earliest nations where the major manufacturers adopted diesel engines in cars.
Even their latest euro5 and euro6 spec engines pump out more nox, on average, than most other major engine manufacturers:

Only just seen this...
I love the forum logic. 535d is dirty so buy a v10 petrol....!
According to nextgreencar.com the following would be annual emissions based on 5k miles:
535d
M5
In reality, the v10 M5 is a much higher pollutant than the 535d would ever be.
Sure, a 20 yr old French diesel will pump out some nasty shit but a euro5 or euro6 diesel will actually produce similar results to the equivalent petrol engine (the v10 is not equivalent).
