I know that VW were at the heart of the scandal, but can't get my head around how they have been messing about with models and engines over the last year or two. We are thinking about a new Q5, but the engine options are limited and when I started to dig a little deeper I see that RS models are limited as are engine variants on A4 and others.

Does anyone know when the situation will improve? Surely they must be losing business, we are now looking at an X3 as we want a 3.0d engine.

The new SQ5, with the new 48v electrically assisted compressor assisted 3.0l Diesel engine (mild hybrid) is available for order in the UK imminently. Not cheap but it's getting good reviews:
