The governments keep raising the bar for pollution and mileage. It is past the point of being unrealistic.

That’s one of the reasons I drive a 2000 model diesel one-ton.

I’ll never buy a new diesel truck again. Nor a new tractor. Only used ones, thank you.

Yeah, for sure. VW isn’t the first, theres been tinkering by other auto manufacturers with emissions test software in the past. My guess is that the EPA will lay a heavy fine on VW and then exempt these eleven million or so vehicles under scrutiny. There’s really nothing that can bee done to improve engine emissions on these vehicles. And, there’s functionally nothing wrong with them. But, this will be interesting however it plays out.....

Already saw an article stating that "this will be the death of diesel, and Europe will have to move to electric/hybrid, like Japan did."
