Jetta TDI buyers to get $1,300 back from the IRS {Autoblog}
Jul 24th 2008 10:34PM Like I said earlier, it's all just talk! 3.5 x nothing is still nothing!
The TDI meets both Tier 2/Bin 5 AND CARB LEV II emission standards! This is the same for gasoline vehicles.
Interesting how in 2001 CARB imposed PM filter requirements on all gasoline engines. I guess their PM emission levels were nothing to write home about. In fact, I'm sure they were higher than the current maximum allowable levels for diesels! I hope you were up in arms over this way back then!
Dude, it's time to get over it! Diesel bashers used to complain about the high emission levels (NOx and PM), problems with cold weather starting, slow acceleration, noisy engines and smelly fuel when it got on your hands.
What's left to bash? Can't bash the emissions any more! No problems starting in cold temperatures anymore. Noise? What noise? Slow?...the 335d will be doing plenty spanking on the roads!
The only thing that's now worth bashing is the price of diesel and the price premium for a diesel vehicle! Oh, the fuel still stinks!
The bottom line is that diesel vehicles are now at the same level as gasoline cars with the added advantage of reducing CO2 emissions by at least 30%.
The price of diesel is the same as the price of premium gas - the stuff required for quality vehicles (Audi, and BMW)
You guys better start digging down deep to come up with something good to keep this perpetual bashing going.

Automakers to face $2B class-action for Canadian price discrepancies {Autoblog}
Sep 26th 2007 5:54PM Buying a car in the States isn't that simple. The biggest problem that people will encounter is that they have to buy the car outright. They can't lease it. Most banks won't lend you the full amount for a 50K plus car.

Dec 11th 2006 10:23PM I would have to agree that comparing Bush to Hitler is a bit extreme. However, if a guy like Milosevic is a war criminal, then Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld are criminals too!! These guys have more blooooooood on their hands than Milosevic!!!!!
