1985 ALL OVER AGAIN. Maybe in a few years, one German company will get
brave enough to try again. Last time around, VW didn't give up
completely. MB did, but only for a year. This time, the goobers went
after VW specifically.
We can vote out the congresscritters who support this kind of nonsense,
but until they (we force them to) get rid of all the unelected
swamprats, not much will change.
We COULD all move to Ireland, where most cars ARE Diesel.

IMNSHO. all diesels, especially those with low mileage in good
condition are seeing a bump in prices. I think this is due to the
recent VW diesel debacle which has virtually destroyed the diesel
passenger car industry for new cars - leaving a declining number of
used diesels available. VW/Porsche and Audi dropped diesels as well as
MB. There are no affordable diesels (or not so affordable) available
as new cars in the US anymore. I happen to think the fines and
punishment was far in excess to the damage VW did. Mostly they did
the worst damage to themselves by destroying the belief the public had
in VW. It appears to me it was an attempt to dump diesels in favor or
EVs. The two aren't comparable at all with the diesel being the
stronger engine type. But that's just me.
Humbly yours ;-)
