    Speaking at a news conference, Hans Dieter Poetsch said: "We are talking here not about a one-off mistake but a chain of errors."

    He said VW would be "relentless in seeking to establish who was responsible" for the scandal.


    4 months, and they still haven't found anyone, or done anything.

    They are working hard. :lol: :lol:

    Because they know it goes right to the top. You can't fake results like that and not have supervisors and managers ask 'what technology did we develop that everyone else doesn't have?'.

    I would think there's more of the same technology out there, just remains hidden. It's odd that VW would spend the resources on devious practices rather than on proper clean engine development. They probably thought it would cost less. :?

    a LOT less.

    Greed.

    Willful ignorance.

    Desperation, the Euro 5 and 6 rules are getting really difficult to follow without
    sacrificing performance and economy. Especially for diesels.

    Volkswagen didn't kill anyone unlike GM (Government Motors) who have blood on their hands.

    Don't kid yourself. Pollution kills, VWs emitted more pollution than they claimed.

    I always wondered since this story broke; the cars were rigged to know when they were being tested, so they'd be more efficient at that moment... Can you game the function to just.... stay on? :lol:


    LOL!!!

    Yes. But like Martin said, there is a choice between pollution controls and performance. Burning fuel = more power but more pollution also.

    VW promised more performance, and cleaner engines and they can't deliver on both promises at the same time.

    Unlike these stalwarts of consumer safety. ROTFL

    BMW, Fiat Chrysler, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan, Toyota, Volkswagen and Mercedes Benz, as well as several of their brands such as, Infiniti, Kia, Acura and others.

    I'm sorry but if you research car companies you'll find that they all operate on the "Ford Mustang" premise that it's cheaper to pay off the deceased's families than to recall millions of cars. So to single out GM for having blood on it's hands is nothing less than blatant favouritism.

    Tell that to the 147 families.

    Damn rights GM should be singled out, thanks for taking notice. :wink:
