Don't understand the Australian take on American vehicles? The VW diesel equipped vehicle was programmed to "lie" about emission claims when inspected and the manufacturer built it like that ON PURPOSE!....and it doesn't meet emission requirements, though VW stated it did so that they could sell more vehicles here in the US..We won't program our vehicles to lie...
Ford, GM and Ram, all have jumped through hoops to meet those EPA requirements..didn't cheat, didn't lie...they didn't have to..VW got caught...they should pay...Ford, GM or Chrysler/Ram would have to, why should VW allowed to get away with lying? They sure shouldn't be given a free pass for deception.
Don't know about the gassers...VW issue was with DIESEL. IF Ford wasn't meeting EPA requirements, I'd imagine we see all kinds of recalls, or quite a few story line in the news about this....I haven't..no lying, no deception...Make your country perfect, THEN, you can work on ours..:R
That was my point. This is a piece written with the sole intention of shaping public opinion by misrepresenting the facts. It is no different than saying the CAFE standard is 35 mpg or whatever the current number is. Then go do a piece on how the Viper and Corvette do not meet standards despite all the cash GM and Chrysler have spent in vain in the development of these vehicles and they are embarrassed of their failure and ineptness in their engineering departments.
