Awesome Dodge is next

EPA gets 4+ billion out of VW for software that doesn't run the same emissions protocol all the time... and now they are coming after Dodge.
 

While most of the news articles and public releases talk about the 1500 & Jeeps a couple tie in Cummins too.

Maaaann this sucks.  Well guess the 1500 diesel will be killed soon enough now.

Kind of interesting that this report came out shortly after F/C announced massive investment into jobs in Detroit and building a new manufacturing plant for the 2/3500 rams.

I'm so glad I'm not the only evil one who thought of that also!  I hate to think all 'conspiracy theory' and what not -- but there are just way to many timing issues with this one.  VW agrees to pay more -- a VW rep gets arrested randomly @ the airport -- new plant announced --   and on. 

It just blows all around. They are going to have to reconfigure the software and cut the efficiency of diesel again hurting us even more

I love Mother Earth I really Do! She needs to be protected. But really ~ my tailpipe isn't the problem here. The heavy carbon emissions from consumer diesel vehicles is a drop in the bucket.  It's not the place to put $10B value on.

I'm sure they'll be targeting just about every manufacturer with a diesel in its ranks.

Sucks, but I guess they sort of had it coming.

Doubt it will happen anymore. The new Sheriff in the White House just gave the EPA a stop order on investigations and regulations.
