I'll bet that in NC, VW owners will not be able to renew their license plate unless their VW has had the "fix", whatever that might be.

Never mind that our TVs emit way more pollution than the TDI--lets focus on one aspect of one manufacturer to make them look bad. Now I'm going to be saddled with a software flash recall that's going to lower my power and MPG, not to mention my resale value...THANKS EPA!

Not many owners will get the software up-date . Why should they . VW builds a great diesel and great mpg if i were a owner i would not do the up-date

All this ranting about adding more laughing gas to our air.
Think how grumpy we are going to be once there is less.

Really .the truck you use to tow your rv puts out way more pollutants then a couple diesel vw's . we deal with ethanol in our gas which puts more pollutants in the air then if we did not use it at all .

So yes if you care about the planet you would own a VW diesel and tent camp

Report: Mobsters in Moldova sold radioactive material to terrorists.

Authorities fear they could make a dirty bomb.

Or a Volkswagen.
