VW is in a world of trouble with cheating emmisions

have you heard the news vw diesels were caught cheating on emmisions last week
it seems there software is set up to detect when the vehicle is being
emission tested and when it does it passes. the rest of the time its polluting
up to 35% more emmisions than any other diesel on the road not good for
diesel VW owners since its not legal to drive a polluting vehicle on the road.

Yes VW is recalling 11 million vehicles and is planning on "fixing" the issue. Interesting to see how the rest of it plays out.

Re: VW is in a world of trouble with cheating emmisions

technically, they are still better than the GM, since GM was a safety issue.
The takata airbags thing might be better, there was actually no ill intent?

Re: VW is in a world of trouble with cheating emmisions

OMG a giant multinational company not being truthful with it's consumers.. that doesn't sound right..... ooooor.. wait.. a.. minute.


VW's suck.... diesel VW's suck even more.. it's pretty much your fault for owning one in the first place.

and I'm sure that's how VW's lawyers are going to argue that as well.
