!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . Another 800,000 vehicles were found to be outside of compliance in C02 ratings. Ive seen a few sources that say that this does include gasoline powered vehicles.

A quote from the release.

• Initial estimate puts economic risks at approximately 2 billion euros

This is an especially big deal in Europe where many places tax based on CO2 ratings. They've technically defrauded the UK government.

I wish people didn’t apply the “-gate” suffix to scandals. Name it anything else, whatever the fuck else you want, but don’t call it some sort of stupid “-gate”.

My preferred nomenclature for this: The Volkswagen Clusterfarfegnugen.

I don't care what you think, it's WAY better than Dieselgate, VWgate, Volksgate, or anything with "-gate" in it.

It always made me wonder what we would call these things if watergate never happened.

Is there a word for something that causes you to laugh at how funny it is but also causes much anger? This was hilangryous.

I suppose if I go on a rampage because of “-gate” someone will probably just end up calling it “Gategate” anyway.

It was called a successful troll.

So you could call it Trollgate.

I haven’t commented much on this issue...

But only this. With government regulation increases FAR outpacing technological capability improvement rate... what do people expect?

Cheating is going to be one of the responses to dealing with the rules of the game changing faster than the players can adapt to them.

It seems like a tempest in a tea-cup to me.

I hope a scandal happens with someone named Ben at the center. We will have come full circle.
