Yeah, I’ve been holding off on some upgrades to my TDI since October. It’s an early 2010, and based on some of the reporting in the fall and winter, it’s a potential candidate for buyback.

I really appreciate the ongoing DieselGate updates.

For those complaining about his position behind the hung up tree, notice that he was standing as a counterweight on the split they were using as a slide the hung up tree backwards,

Certainly not safe, but he was fully expecting that kickback.

I own a VW TDI now, and I’d buy another in a heartbeat.

I think it’s obvious that the “technical solution” for VW was installing SCR, which is why they eventually wound up doing just that.

In Rex’s defense, almost every time he’s mentioned the pats, in a non-pats game week, it’s been in response to a question about the Pats from a reporter, but no one reports the question, they just post the answer.

I’m not sure the profit margins really are any lower on the smaller truck, with smaller engines, especially once you add leather heated seats, infotainment, etc.

If they’re so concerned about the Ranger cannibalizing F Series sales... why not just call it the “F-100”, and call it a freaking day? Then you can lump it in with all the F-series sales numbers.
