There was one reason, I marked the thread as "Joke". Looks like you've completely missed it? Nevermind!
I do sympathize the owners. Unjustifiably, there's a dent on their image just because they own a brand that cheated on a serious subject - Environment.

Accepted.
It is not because I like VW. It was because you are putting down their customers. Had you been attacked the company, managment, I'd agree. Not some customer who has no technical option to verify all claims made about the product.

I have a farm more inquinating 1998 Fiat Seicento. I would be way less evil once you'd deposit on my bank account the 25000 € needed to buy myself a new, ecofriendly car.

Not any more.
But my first own car was a Beetle (not the new one; it was build in 1974).

A friend of mine drives nothing but VW Passats.
Ever since about 12 years ago he was in one that got clipped by a van, flipped over the central reservation of the motorway into oncoming traffic, on its roof, where it was hit by another van and sent spinning across the other lanes.
He climbed out without a scratch on him.

Chances are good that we have some more cheaters and it's payback time when you look like said ass in your car. Usually with interest.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

It's apparently the name of a Hungarian porn actress. In the first page of results from DuckDuckGo, only one refers to the car; all of the others are decidedly NSFW.

Ah yes, her Filmography section on IMDB makes for interesting reading, she's been a busy girl.

Mk7 GTI. (Not a diesel)
Great car. Fast, fun, gobs of torque, beautiful interior, practical and still gets 30mpg around town.
I used to have a 2003 diesel Golf - before the US adopted low sulphur diesel and tightened the emissions regs. That car was bulletproof and averaged 42 mpg - a little slow but not too bad.

Started looking down on those owning Audi / Bentley / Porsche too? They are also VW brands.

Not any more, just sold my piece of junk Passat for an underprice thanks to that bloody cheating.
No I didn't have a problem with the cheating, I want a warmer climate. Remember where I live.

I drive a Chrysler 200, bought in July. It averages 10liter/100km and I very much doubt that it is in any way more eco-friendly than any Passat diesel.
it ain’t broke, it doesn’t have enough features yet.
