Thank you. It seems like the tax system in Norway is going to be a bit more reasonable in the future. Already now, electric cars (such as Tesla) are excempt from all kinds of tax and hybrid cars (as the X5 40e) gets a huge reduction. In some years time, it is certain the tax system (regarding cars) in Norway will be based on emmission and consumtion (the EU standard) only, and not horsepower.
However, I never feel that the 2 litre diesel is underpowered. I have the Hartge tuning set as well, which gives me 218 hp. Of course, a V6 would be better, but given the speed limits in Norway I'm actually quite satisfied with the power of the 2 litre diesel and impressed by the low consumption.
