My uncle just bought a mid-2000s (2005?) Jetta TDI, before the scandal broke. I'm wondering what Colorado will make him and other owners do for this "non-upgradable" class of VW diesel. My 2¢: US states should let it go. Now the states are very concerned, very righteous, but where were the...

My mom took the diesel emissions thing personally. She was genuinely, emotionally angry, hurt even. She had a TDI Sportwagen I've mentioned here before. To me, a response like hers was a gross overreaction. It's like getting angry at a computer. She dumped the Sportwagen and got a 2016 CC, which I'v...

S80s are extremely safe, but not just that, they were extremely safe starting in 1998 (1999 model year). Same with 850s and all other Volvos. My 850's doors ...

Last night I had the displeasure of watching a Tiguan (recent/new) hit a ~2004ish BMW M5 broadside at around 35mph. http://alltrackworld.com/images/IMG_6504.jpg http://alltrackworld.com/images/IMG_6510.jpg The BMW crept out into a break in northbound traffic, and blindly, made a break across the sou...
