In fact I'd never thought that I would ever drive a diesel. When I've first moved to Germany and looked for my options, I was extremely surprised that, at the dealer, for each petrol car, like 99 diesel cars were available. And they were comparably cheap too (from where I came from, the premium you pay for the diesel engine is high, as the fuel is considerably cheaper). I'm guessing that it was probably because of the VW thing.
On a side note, I'd never thought that I would ever drive an automatic either, but that's another story.
