Currently I'm being bombarded with fantastic deals for cars with large diesel engines, particularly BMW.
Now at first glance this seems ideal timing both from a taxation and personal point of view but given the current hate campaign against diesel cars what do you all think the future holds?

had you asked me even a year ago, I would have poo poo-ed the development of electrics but now it seems to me that they will really get going in the next year or two. Too many resources going into their development to fail. And the attractions of home charging as a cost saver........

but even if you dont go for that, the development of small turbo charged petrol engines giving the same power and fuel cost as diesels

you are getting lots of offers on big diesels for the reasons you suspect - no one wants the,m and they are on the run out now.
