Yes they do. The answer is still no.

The heart says yes but the head says no.

Just remember gents, "No means no."

I would love a 40 series Volvo diesel but it's a step too far for me.

When Diesel engine car manufacturers start talking about their 'legendary reliability' in advertising I'll take interest again.
They don't
They won't.

You can add this for Mitsubishi, since 1991... Mitsubishi Says It Cheated on Fuel Tests for Decades
The auto industry is getting the shakeup it needs and the consumer will be the winner in the end.

So it isn't a rouge engineer or intern

VW Had A PowerPoint Presentation On How To Cheat Emissions Tests: Report

Log In - The New York Times

The presentation has been discovered as part of the continuing investigations into Volkswagen, according to two people who have seen the document and have spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the legal action against the company. It provides the most direct link yet to the genesis of the deception at Volkswagen, which admitted late last year that 11 million vehicles worldwide were equipped with software to cheat on tests that measured pollution in emissions.

It is not known how widely the presentation was distributed at Volkswagen. But its existence, and the proposal it made to install the software, highlight a series of flawed decisions at the embattled carmaker surrounding the emission problem.
