Bullshit. They played by the same rules as every other manufacturer. The puppet masters pulling Obama's strings decided that the US was going electric, so they had to destroy turbo diesels. Who the fuck would buy an electric car when you could buy a turbo diesel with a range of 800 miles and get 50+ mpg.
I owned one. My brother owned one. We both got over 50 mpg.
You're deep-throating Obama-era propaganda. We have to hate Germany and Russia. We have to commit war crimes against Germany and Russia. I wonder why it's Germany and Russia? Do you have any ideas?
Yes. That's what I said. They played by the same rules as everyone else. Most cars go into an emissions mode for emissions testing. Everyone else did it, but Obama's cronies sued VW, because they had to create an artificial market for electric cars that nobody wanted.
"Diesels are dirty as fuck even well-tuned ones."
No, they are not. This isn't grandpappy's Detroit Diesel. Turbo diesels with DEF are cleaner than a gas motor.
I'm talking about German turbo diesel technology with DEF. Not semi trucks or huge pickups with metal nuts swinging off the trailer hitch and an itty bitty guy driving who is the assistant to the assistant deputy fire captain on the local volunteer fire department, blasting tractor rap.
@rds3
Volkswagen lied about actual mileage.
With respect all car manufactures do to some degree but VW really lied no where near 50 mpg.
Had surfing buddy who was paid all his money back by VW over this but the catch he had to turn in the five year old car.
He liked the car but took the money back.
This guy has all the luck it has happened to him twice now.

And in order to achieve that they broke emissions standards by huge margins.
When they tuned them down to make the required emissions standards mileage went WAY down.
I forgot the part about emissions standards.
I still believe Diesel hybrids are the way to go by the way.

Prove me wrong and deep throating hahaha.
It wasn't just VW by the way.
Diesels are dirty as fuck even well-tuned ones.
With all that said I would love to have one, but they are simply too expensive at this point.
One of them diesel brothers souped up 4x4!

Yeah, I was born but not yesterday.
As if a shot of blue pig piss is going to clean up all that particulate.
You're just wrong. Look into it.
I have I was actively looking at buying a diesel truck for several years.
I'm not wrong they are still dirty even with DEF.
All you need to do is go put your face in front of an exhaust pipe from each or be behind any diesel vehicle and the difference is huge.
Senses don't lie.

You have no idea what you're talking about.
Now that is funny.
You have your opinion and are entitled to it.
Every diesel I have ever seen has been stinky cars, trucks, tractors, boats, generators and yes even those German made def diesels it's fact of life.
They have there place on the road but I would rather not be behind one.
