Real auto industry guys know that EU mpg and pollution ratings have been a joke for years.

Fiat Chrysler headed by Marchionne is completely inept and needs to go away.

I would expect nothing less from Fiat Chrysler.

Almost like “Catch Me If You Can” where the crook starts uncovering scams.

You’d think they discovered such cheating when new emissions measuring systems that could measure the actual emissions from a passing motor vehicle became widely available in 2008. Indeed, it was such a measurement system that alerted German regulators and the EPA about possible cheating by Volkswagen on their diesel-powered cars as far back as 2009.

So, who is it really that is the excessive emissions czar????

Do you want that unelected bureaucrat specifying what your car’s motor can do????????????????

This country is now light years ahead of where it was in the seventies regarding emissions from vehicles. I would guess light years ahead of any other nation, period.

Air quality, same thing, way way ahead, so now why does one think the move should be ever tighter restrictions on purchasers, manufacturers, parts folks regulators etc, do we really need ever more oppressive regulations that have now surpassed what is cost effective. Insanity rules in Washington DC.

The old “what goes around, comes around” game...the US bashes VW, Germany bashes FIAT/Chrysler...stay tuned for more fun... all over miniscule emissions, as they are these days.
