View submission: the German fascist regime promoting the "people's car" 80 years ago
I own one of those cars from that lawsuit and it's a beast. Emissions bullshit wrecked it for a few years but it got sorted out, at VWs expense no less.
VW was very much not the only ones doing it. They were simply the only ones doing it poorly enough to get caught.
What's funny is that when unmodified from it's original format, the TDIs passed emissions. A little high for sure, but largely passed. NOX is high on diesels but for some reason we're fine with 90% of the diesels on the road (gov contract vehicles and things like semi trucks, rock trucks, etc) having no emissions systems at all. They're exempt and the emissions are ripped out as soon as they are delivered. All of them.
But no. My little 4cyl turbo diesel is the problem.

My wife had one of the Passat TDIs affected and that car was awesome. The car was already paid off, so with the buy out and then class action, it was better financially to just get a new car, or else my daughter would probably be driving it now. I loved that car though.
