High security prison, general population with a cellmate who hasn't seen a woman in a few decades. You think we would be seeing ongoing massive banking fraud like LIBOR fixing cases now if some of the criminal banksters from 2007-2008 era had done hard time in the general prison population? I don't think so. |

It's because the cars are engineered for germany, which has strict but not crazy regulations, but isn't biased against diesel.

Everybody dies eventually. The difference is, how long they live before they die. A few cars that crash may cause a few people to die much earlier than they might otherwise. Many cars with bad emissions may cause many people to die a little bit earlier than they would have otherwise. |

When was that ever not the case?

As I purchased a JSW TDI in March, I'm curious to see how this plays out. I expect at a minimum, the warranty on the car will be increased considerably beyond 3 yrs/36k. Heck, maybe they even replace my JSW (with only 9k miles on it,) with a urea burning 2016.

A number of the posts here are really informative. Thanks and keep them coming.
Will the consumer class action suit include foregone resale profits as a consideration? Does that kind of thing happen? Also, as I've mentioned, I have a 2015 JSW TDI with just 1,100 miles on it. I got the automatic even though I really wanted the manual. The thing just doesn't drive very well. The transmission shifts three times before I hit 20mph and often response to the pedal lags, so I step down, and then the turbo kicks in, peeling the skin off my face. The dealer tells me that I have to get used to how it drives. Could be, but everything is smooth in my wife's Honda CRV. Thoughts? I honestly wouldn't mind returning the thing. |

Ice lol
So wait, the idea is to inject hydrocarbons into a metallic combustion chamber, ignite it via compression or electrical spark, and then produce torque via a piston, connecting rod, and a crankshaft with offset rod journals? Furthermore that this arrangement requires dramatic coaxing to attain contemporary U.S. emissions standards? How quaint! Someone might feel encouragement to cheat with regard to making this Rube Goldberg arrangement compliant with testing and yet also palatable to buyers? Shocker!
TL DR: "ICE LOL!"

There's no sport mode. But the driver can shift manually.

Mash on the right pedal, it'll shift at the right spots. The DSG is the best automatic out there. That said, you shoulda gone manual.

I'm mostly annoyed with people calling into question the viability of diesel as a fuel in any capacity.
If the software update ruins my mileage, I'll be getting aftermarket software... |
