[s-cars] VW antics

[Walter Moore]

I agree that this is the thin end of the wedge. Given the political
pressure to ban diesels in cities that already existed, if there are any
more revelations from VW or other car-makers fail tests it will become a
Hindenberg moment.

It probably already is a Hindenberg moment for small-car diesels in the US.

We would rather die in our dread
Than climb the cross of the moment
And let our illusions die.”
