I'd suggest the diesel wouldn't give up too much ground to the petrol in acceleration and would certainly kick ass with a few bodies on board or steep accent. No Name,

No brainer the petrol has the go but the diesel has the econmomy. Its a pointless excercise as we all no the answers now.

Every semi trailor runs on diesel so why not make every car a diesel to. Hope the ford falcon be a diesel one day. Imagine a Barra 4 litre on diesel pumpin out 750 nm of torque. Maybe the next GTHO will be a diesel pumpin out 1000+ nm of torque and reclaim the worlds fastest production car again. Diesel will always kick petrol engines asses in.

As to depreciation, it may be a case of "too early to tell", though historically speaking, obscure brands do not fare well. Simon – the servicing is something we’ll look in to for you.
