VW Canada Raided in emmissions probe
|
Shouldn't those people who continue to drive the VW Diesels in question, and are knowingly contributing to the demise of the environment, be equally charged, fined, and imprisoned ? Now back to the garden to rinse the jet fuel off of my tomatoes and cucumbers... :soapbox:

I'm gonna bet they didn't show up in a Prius or Volt.
More like Suburbans I think. And I need that jet fuel! |

1 rubber mat for cargo section of our q7 18L of fancy smancy Castrol LL diesel oil 1 ball cap. 1 rear wiper blade.... .... Just bought new tires for my wife's q7..... Keeping the old carcasess - almost down to the wear bars... just in case we need to turn it in the next 12 months or so. The thing eats tires. |

Oh please, are you serious? Millions of Diesel trucks are contributing way more to pollution than a couple thousand VW TDI cars on our roads. The whole thing is a total cash grab by the US government and greedy lawyers who make tons of cash from class action. Our authorities are as usual just following the US lead. Yes VW was forces to cheat when confronted by impossible pollution standards after investing billions in the technology.

Europe have fallen out of love of diesels for the simple reason is the air quality is CRAP in the major cities now. Popularity of diesels has unintended costs... I was in Paris last summer and couldn't believe the orange haze - reminiscent of Toronto when Lakeview was at full chat. The employees that are taking a bullet for senior management were TOLD to find a way to meet the reg's (wink) or find another line of work. This is a direct page out of the Ferdinand Piech manual of employee *coaching*. :rolleyes: |

I love rolling coal on my VW. :)

Well, from what I hear, those TDI cars that have been "fixed" are not as good as they were before. The power output is not the same and they are not as fuel efficient.
What I think our government should've done is fine VW for defeating emission testing, mandate a reimbursement payment to owners, and forbid selling new cars affected by the issue. But, leave existing used cars alone and let people who own them keep them as they are. They are no more polluting than so many other vehicles on our roads. Granted that resale market for the "dirty" TDIs will be affected, I bet there will still be plenty of people willing to buy them. |
