This is actually the wrong world when car journalists are transported to London at Nissan's expense, in order to sit 12 previously fixed kilometers as co-drivers in an autonomous driving electric car. Clearly, the comment is very cautious if the chef technician has to intervene twice in a round.

London is still harmless. Very often it is also the West of the USA or South Africa, of course for two the complete trip is paid. And then, in the same breath, the urgent, but hypocritical appeal to the manufacturers, to develop more cost-favorable alternatives to the ever more expensive standard models.

Porsche is now only the outstanding example, if they pay their employees pay more than 9,000 euros extra for the previous year. At the same time, the new GT3 is only available with PDK (dual clutch transmission). But the corresponding article comforts, you can order the GT3 also with manual transmission, even without surcharge. Now, in the case of the company Porsche, it would not be really tragic to consider their clientele. But you have to worry about journalism, don't get rid of the feeling of undiscerning "yard reporting".

Meanwhile, there is also a critical attitude as a façade. Since car journalists are so closely involved, they usually learn more about the future of a particular brand than their public. If there is then a departure from the design planned, one can of course now already find the current design as somewhat antiquated. Then come the new models, and confirms the criticism, of course.

Worse, that research is too much at the surface, most often determined by manufacturers. In the case of the diesel discussion, there would be an urgent need for action. Or have you already read somewhere that there is in principle zero connection between fine dust reduction and Euro 6. Much more interesting for the reduction of fine dust should be the presence for example of a particle filter.

Or how the exhaust gas values of the diesel engine behave to those of the direct injector gasoline, which is still sold without a particle filter and to which some now evade? Or how much of the much weakerly controlled wood heating systems and the other sectors contribute to fine dust? At all, is the main difference between fine dust and NO_X clarified? What if vehicles up to and including Euro 5 are banned in the city and the exposure to fine dust is hardly noticeable?
