Still driving my Passat TDi. Think I would be more worried about how much pollution China's industry is emitting rather than my car but hey, I have a simplistic view of the world.

totaly agree, same way they did bp,yanks are bankrupt,simplis ,printing money tp stay a float or shaft some body :thumbdown::thumbdown::thumbdown::thumbdown::thumbdown::thumbdown:

 

I'm with Dempsey and your sentiment but the US is not bankrupt, no one to bankrupt it, it's just running on credit from the rest of the world.

 

BTW those of you old enough will remember how the screwed UK down in the Atlantic treaty which took some paying back, nothing altruistic about american governments.

[Mike Dempsey]

Your average member of the public both here and in the US would be astonished by just how much of their country is owned by the Arabs, Chinese and Russians. They have massive amounts of money to spend and have been hoovering up companies, land and infrastructure over the last few years. If the oil markets were to change from using dollars to another currency the Yanks would be in serious trouble.

The debt in Britain is mounting every day, under the Tories it is still going up but maybe not as fast as it was/would under Labour. People get confused of the difference between the annual deficit and debt and it suits the politicians to keep this muddy.

If we ran our businesses in the same way as politicians run the country we would all be living in hostels for the homeless and signing on the dole and queuing up at foodbanks.

The American Gov suing non-American companies for billions has been going on for several years now and the judicial system is so corruptly skewed in favour of the plaintiff winning, no matter how ludicrous the case or lacking in hard evidence, there is no way that VW will come out of this one without having £20 billion or so taken from their wallet.

In comparison any American company caught up in these legal proceedings have had tiny fines imposed in comparison and let off really lightly.

Whilst I am not saying what VW did was ok (and any other car companies that are doing the same) the US are being hypocritical here as some of us are old enough to remember Bhopal and also the Exxon Valdeez to name but 2. I am sure there are others!

Audi and Skoda have been up to the same tricks as well apparently.

It begins to look like no diesel will meet modern NOx requirements without adblue or some seriously debilitating EGR. Not that I think NOx is a significant problem away from cities, especially in a rainy country.
