I repeat... it's not bashing anything. The ***le's just tongue in cheek. Diesel's have their place as much as Petrols. I liken this whole debate to the 16 bit console wars of the early 90s. The SEGA Mega Drive versus the Super Nintendo. Both very different animals, both great inventions. Both had their place. People picked their sides for personal reasons and now they're redundant technology (which petrol and diesel will be in a couple of decades) people look back fondly on both consoles, for their merits and their shortcomings, which with nostalgia have become charming, endearing. I don't understand how people can be annoyed that other people might not like an engine model/design. Life's too short to worry about such things. There's no bias here.
