Those bastards need to buy my car back (know that won't happen ). Was very interested in an Audi when I upgrade from my current VW since I've had such a good experience with my TDI. I've got a feeling I'm going to lose a lot of money on this, so there's no way I'm giving that company another dime

You don't think news that the problem becoming 23x larger and also becoming a fully global issue warrants its own thread?

GM and Dodge must be getting ready to push their smaller diesel motors for cars, trucks, and suv's more.

I agree it's interesting, but isn't the primary problem EPA regulations? How many other countries are going to care? (serious question, I don't know the answer).

I think EPA just copies CARB and CARB copies the Euros, so chances are they are in violation of them all.

The equities markets care. That´s about it.

US EPA does not affect other countries.

Someone tell me what this means. Is this just an emissions thing, or are they lying about the real world mpgs of that engine?
