*****” Thanks to the EPA..................” *****

NOPE ... Thank Bill Clinton and I am sure that he is still getting residuals to his Foundation

ALGore is getting some too

EPA is nothing but a weapon that Politicians wield like a sword, they are nothing without the Politicians and why they still exist is something that you need to bring up with your local Congress Critter and then DOCUMENT HIS/HER LIES so that you can replace them with a new Liar, less rich but still hungry for the new pay offs.

OH Yeah

It is to the point these AHoles don’t even try to hide what they are doing.

Hard to believe. They have no style at all. They couldn’t give me one.

Not saying that never happens, but where I come from there are idling restrictions on trucks. Basically in most urban areas you can’t leave a truck idling the way you used to so it has slipped from common practice.

Diesels built for automobiles haven’t been noisy for quite a while.

Cars, especially upscale ones, keep growing in size. The new A3 is about the size of the original A4. The A3 is about the only upscale brand sedan (hatchbacks negate some upscale appeal) of its size I can think of. Other entry level lux sedans are at least six inches longer. Older buyers don’t mind conservative styling. It’s a niche market.

It’s a European website. Seems to have US pricing wrong.

Golf TDIs sell for $25k-$27k while A3 TDIs sell for $8k - $10k more.
