Possibly given the extent of the potential fines and compensation being bandied about, especially if US citizens get the chance to make personal claims, which seems may be a possibility.
Even the German government are now implicated. I read today that some commentators in the know think this could actually be the start of the end of diesels, especially if, as we suspect, others manufacturers are up to the same tricks.

listening to Jeremy Vine on Radio 2 this afternoon, one listener questioned.. if VW have to cheat to bet the emissions how many others?
I BMW and Vauxhall can produce similar sized engine with low emissions why can't VW as one of the largest car companies in the world?

Don't forget about all the Lamborghini diesels
Not quite Lamborghini diesels but take a look on You Tube for Coal Rollers, Diesel powered dragsters, not I'm fairly sure they'd fail emissions tests.

Seeing as I know nowt about engines what so ever. If this has been done on VW Diesel engines. What's to say it's not been done on petrol engines.

I wonder if any other manufacturers will jump forward to out themselves before they are found out and named and shamed. I can't believe for one minute V dub are the only company playing this game

So did Herbie really go to Monte Carlo or is that just another VW lie?

I see Red Bull are going ahead with VW engines...
With fines rumoured to be in the billions and, potentially, lots of company car drivers being chased for thousands backdated company car tax + the additional Tort cases in the US... Cue VW retrenching by selling off the likes of SEAT and Skoda @ knockdown prices just to stay alive?

Has anybody wondered why Diesel fuel is cheaper at the pumps than petrol recently???

I assumed it was because I bought a diesel car on retirement last year and Mr Osborne told them to be kind to me?

I have always wondered why diesel was dearer than petrol. In the early 1980s my father in law got his first diesel car, a Renault 18, and deisel was considerably cheaper than petrol. It is inly with the popularity of diesel cars that the price of diesel has risen above petrol.

I reckon the oil companies are trying to offload stocks of Diesel fuel because something is "around the corner"....
