Porsche deiselgate part 2 - porsche to end deisel sales

Didnt know that the cayenne deisel sales was temporary suspended in germany last year for “software” irregularities.

Looks like Macans are under the microscope at the moment.

You’d have thought VAG would have learned from the previous / ongoing scandal.

Maybe they forgot the cheat device was still in the 3.0d cars.

Watch Dirty Money on Netflix. Gives a pretty good account of the whole affair. Basically it was the yanks that uncovered it all. It also pretty much concludes that most EU countries know that diesels have cheat devices on board but that enforcement in Europe is non-existent due to the damage it would do to economies.

... and that the gullable governments dont want to admit to being stupid/wrong/inaccurate or just simply being EU puppets... if governments and global commisions basically make s**t up for the sake of profiteering I can almost get on board the donad trump mad ship “global climate warming is a hoax”!!
