Classic, gentle, American elegance

Everything that’s not a hybrid is technically below A hybrid

I can’t stand that green leaf loge used on Ford’s flexfuel products

Omg I just found one while reading this. I feel like I just ran into a prison escapee or illegal alien. What should I do?

Because 10 years ago diesel cars were allowed to belch black smoke all day long

Well said. I personally couldn’t care less about emissions. All u care about is whether or not I can register the vehicle in my state.

Mercedes was proud to have chauffeured Hitler‘s ass around in a custom made model

I think you and I agree on this. Standards are being pushed to a point where the internal combustion engine will become illegal. I can see a point in a few years where all vehicle manufacturers decide to pull out of California because it’s just worth it, and turn California into another automotive Island like Cuba,…

Those 700 hp v8 cars are given a different emissions test than small diesel cars

Every road test could have significant variations, based on conditions and driving style. Even Bmw admitted that their X5 showed higher emissions on account of being tested on a hillclimb

The key word here should be ALLEGEDLY. Remember folks, this is America. Innocent until proven guilty in a court of law? Let’s not jump to conclusions here. If violent shooters are alleged shooters despite being tackled down and having hundreds of witnesses, VW deserves the same benefit of doubt...

Standard Emission testing will always fail the moment I try to floor the accelerator or drive uphill or carry a heavy load. Under those circumstances more fuel will always be burned, and release more emissions

My neighbors did not get cancer from me driving my diesel car. Your hipporritical, liberal argument is therefore invalid. I also intend to continue to eat meat and use my charcoal grille, knowing full we that the polar ice caps will not melt and that polar bears will not drown

The classic battle of science vs beaurocracy. Remember the golden rule: don’t steal - the government hates competition.

It seems all emissions standards are just arbitrary numbers, tweaked arbitrarily year after year. VW emits 11 to 40 times the allowable limits? And just what are those limits? Almost zero? And what are the new guidelines? 10 percent less than the previous year? Why not 15 percent or 5?how about just waking the…

Why not? The Isuzu impulse does it too

That is still one of my all time favorite beauties

I never understood why the C4’s headlights couldn’t just pop up like on my Ford Probe. The car looks incredibly cool to this day, I'm just curious as to the design rationale behind the back flipping

This is the future I was promised growing up.. And we have been lied to, and never got this future. I miss the period when designs like this were really innovative and cars did not look ‘angry’ or like toy tie ins from a Michael Bay flick

I’m currently replacing the suspension and brakes in this same model year beetle. I’ll let you know if I come across any secret boxes with wires connected under there
