You are making stuff up again, I never said you attacked BP.

Insinuating and attack because I thought they were British.

Liar.

That's just not true. Can you answer my question about other car makers and their emissions?

Now that I caught you, you shift. BP has done great things since the spill.

Okay, so about the emissions...the topic of this thread...you think there'll be more similar scandals?

Owners are angry as **** for being lied too by these liars.

"VW. German for FU."

lol, that's actually true.

my second car was an 85 jetta. i could not recall a single component of that unholy POS that didn't break/malfunction. 20+ years later, and i'm still bitter enough over it to take great joy in this.

Its a shame all these people were lied too, they bought cars that were supposed to be eco friendly, instead they were polluting the environment with NO.

It looks like VW does not have the money to cover this lawsuit, they will most likely have to see all their subsidiaries.

This just popped into my head, it's only tangentially related (I explain how below), but this is a really terrific podcast about why the Red Cross is not well liked by US service men.

The part that I was thinking about is how they talk about "categorical change", and how I think that while this is a huge scandal for Volkswagen, it's not a categorical change, i.e. we really latently expect to be screwed by large companies, so when it happens, it doesn't fundamentally change our view of them. Again though, fantastic podcast.

I live in a part of the U.S that doesn't go all Socialist Tyrant on us and FORCE us to do the stupid tests, if this causes VW prices to drop. I will buy one.

FuHK da Gubmint and der EVIROMINT!

More bad news, appears the new models in 2016 have the same cheat mode.

TBF, those 2016 models were probably already built and sitting in storage before the scandal broke. Remember with cars, you can buy the next year's model close to a year before.

Appears all the presidents and vps who said they didn't know are all quiting😂

Arnt you glad you drive a Prius👆
