Can you elaborate? I'm not familiar with the connection you're referring to.
Thier TDI desiels were programmed to have a "emission testing" mode which meets EPA standards, and then a "normal drive" mode which was more powerful and more fuel efficient, but didn't meet standards. They got caught and had to recall and buy back every car that had this feature.
For sure, I'm familiar with that. You said it pussy whipped the industry. I don't understand how they're connected.
The post is about lying about performance, and how no one does it anymore. VW was the last big lie before they got slapped so hard no one does it anymore.
Gotcha. I'd usually call that "honest" rather than "pussy whipped" so I think that's what my disconnect was.
