Thanks for your explanation. But i think the problem here is not the strategy. We are talking about individual car performance. This is not about the NOx produced by the whole VW cars. Every other single manufacturer car is at least 4000% better ? Incredible. This is the question.

The problem is the strategy.

We are talking about the NOx emissions of diesel engines in general, and of VW's decision to base their US and global strategy around diesel.

What's the point of praising my comment if you didn't fucking read it? Other manufacturers don't have 4000% better cars, in the US other manufacturers sell gasoline cars which intrinsically produce significantly less NOx.
