Are you surprised?
Governments are incentivising low emissions and customers care more and more about fuel economy.
What's better than making a car that produces fewer emissions and is more economical? Fooling everyone into believing that you have, especially if it's much cheaper than actually making one.

It's a fair point. I do also consider that if it's less awful for the environment, that's a good thing. But I framed it as a cost issue out of fear of seeming like a hypocrite/doing something a bit superficial by choosing a marginally less polluting vehicle and expecting it to make much of a difference.
In my defence I at least walk my kids the mile and back to school, cycle on any journeys I can, etc. But I am not masochistic enough to even consider transporting 2 small children + multiple bikes and bags by public transport whenever we go away.

Why is everyone only thinking of cost to themselves when considering diesels against alternatives? Is pollution fallacy? Sorry if have missed this argument. Also BMW under investigation regarding emissions figures manipulation.
