not exactly the most balanced report I have ever seen
but even he had to admit that VAG is just the tip of the iceberg , and for that reason I am sure that his estimation of how hard this will hit VAG's sales and profits is grossly wrong , joe public is fairly easy conned but not to the extent that they believe all the other companies in the industry are as white as snow

and 5 years to correct all the cars ? what percentage of owners will be flashers , not a lot !

...and now they are suggesting that petrol cars may be implicated in the misleading of regulatory authorities and buyers.

OMG!!! I bought this 4.2ltr 360bhp car on the understanding that I was saving the world, that it would do 100mpg, bring world peace and save cyclists when i hit them. Have I been mis-led all this time???

Anyone who bought a diesel on the basis that it was cleaner and less harmful needs re-education in the sciences and learn to be a bit more sceptical of marketing ****e. The australian guy is just exercising what passes for normal discussion and argument in Oz. (have you ever watched their parliamentary debates?).

I reckon Ford eat their words along with most other makes using Bosch.
It'll end up being some cop out like "we didn't know, it's our suppliers fault" remember the supermarkets and horse burgers

Mmmm, horse burgers, I'd forgotten about them!

Can't buy a decent cut of horse anywhere these days.
