The greenies are hell-bent on banning diesel cars. And with their crusade against SUVs gaining momentum, we won’t be surprised if SUVs were banned altogether. First it was diesel cars in Delhi that bore the brunt, and now it’s in Kerala. Yes, it will be the end of the world as car enthusiasts know it.
Now we don’t know if this is the reaction to all this diesel banning or what, but have you seen the SUV prices in the used car market? These are seriously worth having a second look at. Who knows, this may be your last chance at a proper SUV.
