- rorykoehler 6y agoThen I guess you’re never buying any European car ever again because it has since come to light that they were all at it. A bit misplaced given the electric push anyhow surely?
- rsynnott 6y agoNot just European; practically everyone who made diesel cars was at it.
- Dopameaner 6y agoI am curious. Do you happen to have a source for it?
- rsynnott 6y agoList of the main ones who got in trouble here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_emissions_scandal#Fiat_Chrysler https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_emissions_scandal#Fiat_... And it's not like this was the first time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defeat_device https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defeat_device It's really quite weird that it has become associated so closely with Volkswagen.
- kingsuper20 6y agoI naturally assume that a lot of products with computers that are subject to government testing cheat in some way. Betcha that some Energy Star appliances can detect when they are being run through a test cycle.
- MattGaiser 6y agoIt was everyone's emission scandal. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_emissions_scandal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_emissions_scandal
- Invictus0 6y agoThey've already paid over 30 billion to resolve the scandal, and they've pledged to invest 86 billion to develop electric vehicles. It's pointless to hold old grudges against companies when the people responsible for the scandal are gone and the company is now moving in the right direction.
- RaptorJ 6y agoIf you want to hold a long-term personal boycott against Volkswagon for immoral business practice, I assure you there are better reasons than the diesel emissions testing scandal.
- throwawayboise 6y agoHow many "cheating" diesel vehicles did Volkswagen sell in the USA? Not enough to matter, even if they had no emissions controls at all.
