I bought VW diesels because they're fun to drive an economical. I don't think
I'd buy one newer than 2005 because of the DEF/DPF (diesel exhaust fluid/diesel
particulate filter) both of which cost mileage.
I suspect but of course can't prove that all manufacturers cheat their
emissions or fuel economy or both. Ford got caught a couple years ago lying
about the C-Max mileage. If you're buying a car to be "green" you've missed the
point. The only really "green" action you can take is to kill yourself and have
your body composted...

Subject: Re: [MBZ] watch out VW dizzelers
Just finished a podcast interview with author of a recent book on "green"
companies, and by chance the lady owns a VW. Gasser, not diesel.
Lady is "green" herself through and through, and was adamant that she was
going to sell her VW and get a Tesla as soon as she could afford one. From
her perspective, VW has betrayed us all and is destroying the planet and is
now so evil she pretty much said she hopes they rot in hell.
I would imagine that a lot of the left feels the same way, and so that
Jalopnik story may be credible.
One clever caller asked about the sustainability / availability / future of
lithium (for Li-ion batteries), and she confessed that she didn't know a
thing about that. Hmmm, don't think I'm going to buy that book.
