If they weren’t before, regulators in Europe are now wise to GM’s trickery. How long until we see America’s biggest car company get torn to shreds by the German government, much as Germany’s biggest car company was taken down here in America?

This article is frustrating I work in the emissions industry and these “legal loopholes” or AECD’s are the norm for very good reason such as engine overspeed, injector malfunctions, O2 sensor malfunctions, etc. You cant expect the engine to be emissions compliant in these situations. If GM or any automotive company is…

Well how would they get torn to shreds by the gov’t if they were doing something legal? I’m confused...

I’m sorry... who caught GM “lying?”

False advertising is not the same as mistaken advertising. You have to prove intent to defraud, which is actually what VW had.

You do realize the difference between fuel economy and emissions, right? GM’s crossovers were emissions compliant all along. The AWD models just accidentally had the FWD ratings print on their stickers.

The stickers showed the ratings for FWD models. Not a hard mistake to make.

Very few customers actually bought one of those things and even looked at the mileage with any kind of concern for fuel economy.

If you are buying a crossover and expecting (or even caring about) good MPG, I have some oceanfront property in Liechtenstein to sell you.

Is a sticker misprint the same as installing cheat software that made cars catastrophically, constantly fail emissions standards?

Where is the mass HATRED for GM like we had for VW?

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME??? I spent 3 years on that program and not once did a person ever have a problem with the shifter. Can they recall cars because the drivers are morons?

Tristan Herbert was behind the wheel. He spoke with Motorsport.com after the video was posted.

It doesn’t matter. These crooks needed to be exposed. At least GM and the judge was compassionate to them. I would have run them out of the country.

I’m just waiting for the “OMG something something bailout something something Government Motors” haters to come around to say how GM staged this to be the first case to set a predecessor for the other cases.

So much for that. Scheuer and his wife have since hired criminal defense lawyers as well.

That’s quite an exaggeration on a majority being drunk. There were quite a few that were high.

Good.

But GM’s first new electric vehicle in 20 years,

GM as number one on a bullshit Jalopnik list that, in typical Jalopnik fashion, highlights negativity? Why am I not surprised... BTW, the ignition switch fiasco was (literally) SO last year.
