The short answer is that I believe Americans are at some point going to need to feel comfortable with the idea of not being “Not being Number 1” forever. Perhaps even in the next decade or two. The reality is that China has literally 3 times the number of people, large quantities or resources and of course an…

As much as people bashed Tesla over the delays they Mr Musk deserves a big hat’s off for insiting on those crazy doors. In the end its all worth it.

That’s a complicated issue- the proper amount we spend or either grow or shrink the military. I think what’s important to realize is that what we’re going through now-with some things being cut- is not really different from what happened after WW1, WW2, Korea, Vietnam, the first Gulf War, and now: each and every time…

I have no admiration for the guy. Period. While I agree mostly with what you say with regard to masculinity. But at the end of the day a good leader gets things done for the populace and that certainly has been the case with Obama.

Not sure this should qualify as a recall. It’s more like a “correction” since the “problem” was actually planned versus an unforeseen issue.

All of this makes me wonder if VW will change their slogan “ the power of German engineering”. I've always felt that tag line was pretty obnoxious.

These are still being made by the same company and they even look almost the same. $2,000 seems pretty steep

First of all hardly anyone with a degree of world political knowledge would proclaim Putin is a strong leader. In essence all he’s doing is attempting to return Russia to a soviet style, authoritarian state. That’s a style of governance hat ironically the right used as a defense against anything the Obama…

Layoff the whack-uh-doodle right winger radio shows. Interesting how conservatives seem to just love Putin but then tell us all how if we get healthcare we will all burn in commie hell...

I’m not sure “outsmarting” is a term I would have used...

Conservatives just luv them some Putin don't they?

I guess this isn’t that daring but for some reason me and a bunch of my friends decided to each drink 2 12 pack cases of OK cola ( this was in the 90’s) . So we did so. I’ve never peed so much in all my life.

Seeing all of this has me now seeing why perhaps the Chevy Cruz diesel is somewhat more costly. I remember going to a car show a few years ago and seeing the sticker for the then new Jetta TDIs and wondering how they were able to sell them so cheap. Now I know why.

Sorry, but I really doubt that’s going to work.

Maybe. I've iwned the truck since new and the by so far has been great

I’m not whining. Simply stating facts aren’t the definition of whining.

You are basically trying to say that what they did wasn’t a big deal. I don’t agree with your premise.

You aren’t connecting the dots. If you come to a company and intentionally deceive your consumers, cheat by bypassing existing laws then you absolutely deserve to pay for those consequences. What you are saying has nothing to do with this particular case. Instead you are simply putting forth a weak straw man argument.…

I dont believe you understood my previous response. Deliberatley releasing pollution into the atmosphere- pollutants that are known carcinogens- is IMHO in many ways worse than having a unknown factory defect.

The company deliberatly lied and cheated. Screw them. That’s all
