                I like the very beginning (the drawing room scene with all the Victoriana). I think the concept is quite useful to explain the divergence in the 20th/21st century of two groups of people with less and less in common and less and less to say to each other, other than snarling.

                  Yes and no. As I understand it, this is the only consumer diesel engine that doesn't have a urea system in it to help treat the exhaust gasses. So the engines that do have a urea system are far, far less likely to be non-compliant because they have the added expense of the system, so you might as well make it work.

                  Jalopnik has done some really nice coverage of this. Those gearheads have said this puts the entire consumer diesel program in the US is in trouble because of this. Not just VW.

                    It's cute how the little brown girl named Sofi Cruz managed to slip through the fence that was meant to keep her out, in order to fulfill her dream of encouraging love and unity.

                    OK, cynicism restored. She was a marketing puppet.

                      Hey, don't throw us under the bus in this, I have very intimate knowledge of how our calibrations operate, since I have actually developed them myself, I can state with confidence that there is nothing like this in our software. I don't see how it will affect diesel engines from other manufacturers, that are doing the right thing. Over the last 10-15 years we have welcomed stricter EPA rules, because we are always ahead of the game when it comes to emissions, and we generally meet regulations a year early. Every time the EPA tightens it up a little more, all we do is gain market share.

                            Yeah, but I'm not talking truck engines. These are more the small consumer engines. Large diesel engines for trucks aren't going anywhere. They're here to stay.

                              We have "consumer" engines. Not as small as VW, but its not all just Heavy Duty engines anymore. http://www.nissanusa.com/trucks/2016-titan/

                                Yeah, I'm mainly talking non-truck engines. But I get what you're saying.

                                I just think that when you have two diverging technologies, diesel and hybrids, for consumer cars and the only (truly) major player in the game massively ****s up like this, it's going to hurt the entire industry.
