I soon change to a department in my company that will be responsible for several IT processes and services at VW.
One is said to even give me insight to VW prototype testing.
Stay tuned.

Edit: While I agree that there's a strong political background to the VW scandal, cheating is still cheating and the cars are indeed polluting more than they should...

why is diesel better (except for fuel econ)?
to be honest I only drove one diesel car and it was ok, maybe more suited for city driving as it felt slower on the road.

Diesels take twice the time to reach optimum temperature, weight more and have higher CO2 emissions ( not if you are VAG Cool Face ).

The only advantage is fuel economy over long distances.

Quote:
Volkswagen AG (VOWG_p.DE) has reached an agreement with U.S. regulators for a mix of buybacks and fixes for 80,000 polluting Audi, Porsche and VW 3.0-liter vehicles, two sources briefed on the matter said Tuesday.

The agreement includes a buyback offer for about 20,000 older Audi and VW SUVs and a software fix for 60,000 newer Porsche, Audi and VW cars and SUVs, the sources said. A separate, more complex fix is expected to be offered for the older vehicles.

I smell a bottomless money pit for VAG in 2017...

As for Honda, not too keen on their latest design language, it shouts: "look at me, i'm trying!"

Cut a couple of new vents here and there and slap a gigantic diffuser on the back (Ford-style) and you've got yourself a brand new GTE! Genious!
Ok, I've only now noticed it's mid-engined, which explains how they found enough room for that diffuser. Have they finally ditched the traditional rear-engine layout in their 911s?
... Aaaand a radar to detect other (mainly much faster LMPs) cars. Aand a new engine. Neat.
But is it actually faster than the previous model? And, more importantly, is it at least as fast as the Ferrari and Fords?

What is your 'affordable' dream car?

Something you really want, and could possible have one day, or maybe you already have or had... Brand new or (very) used.
(If you're filthy rich then skip the question Laughing)

I think mine would be the GT86 or the MX5.
