True, however, this is why we would be very very angry that 3/4 of antibiotics consumed in America are eaten by “healthy” farm animals. This fattens them up quickly, and also ensures they can live in horror show conditions, keeping your double cheeseburger at 99 cents.

Redacted from the prepared script: "I was informed that these discrepancies would likely go unnoticed in what I perceive to be the world's dumbest first world country."

“Volkswagen’s “fix” for their ozone-depleting diesels”·

There aren't 11 million of them doing that worldwide though. Scale matters, not opinions.

What’s the point?

Christ you're a douchebag and a fucking stupid one to boot.

The cars still work, and drive, and because it looks like you missed it every other time it’s been stated here, they also pollute the atmosphere at 10 to 40 times the rate allowable by US law, and the only reason they’ve been able to sell those cars in the United States is that they deliberately falsified their tests…

Again? Really? Ted Cruz is such a piece of trash. Abortions are a very VERY small portion of what Planned Parenthood does. It is an essential service and needs to be funded. The countries budget is not something to be held ransom for political gain.

1st Gear: A Simple Fix?

You’re absolutely right. I work at a franchised new car dealer and the decision was made this morning to be very light on ALL VW appraisals until the effects of this are known. Nobody wants to be putting good money into VW trade ins if they all are going to plummet due to reputation in the next few months.

We all need to push back for a buy back offer.

As a pissed TDI ‘15 owner, I will be very interested to see how this “fix” effects economy and performance. I have no clue what the responsible path is for making owners whole. I 100% understand that the emissions issue needs to be addressed, but now I own a car that isn’t what I was sold on - anyone know how this has…

Ya, I heard they’re going to be marketing a new dual-mode exhaust.

The public health consequences for extra emissions related to these 500,000 vehicles will probably total more than 124 deaths over the decades to come.

Glad to hear you enjoyed your car. Its still never was a legal car. So yes I’ll call it a fake car.

Doesn’t matter they still sold it.

I could drive a 1000 hp beast or walk, it doesnt matter. They lied, not me. They intentionally mislead the government and their buyers. But if you must know, I daily a Civic

I say mandatory buy back at original sticker price for every vw tdi, the max fine and all the cars crushed.

Those are controllable processes. They concentrate the impact of power management to the point of manufacture and have lower overall impact overall before they store a single KWh of power.

You don’t have enough faith to have zero faith?
