    EPA Accuses FCA (Fiat-Chrysler) of excess Diesel Emissions

      fiat-chrysler-automobiles.jpg

    WASHINGTON -- The EPA has accused FCA of using similar software as, already found guilty VW,  that allowed excess diesel emissions in over 100,000 U.S. trucks and SUVs sold since 2014.

    FCA has declined to comment, and Reuters cites sources that declare that FCA will contest the claims.

    It is common practice for automakers to use secondary emission controls to protect engines from internal damage. When doing so the maker must proclaim and document it to the EPA.

    Currently, Fiat-Chrysler’s 2017 diesels are not certified for sale in the United States, forcing Chrysler to continue selling 2016 models instead.

    On Wednesday, January 11, 2017, Volkswagen was fined $4.3 Billion for criminal and civil violations in misleading regulators and selling vehicles that pollute.

      Not so great colonnade years:  1973 and 1974 Not so great next-gen years:  1978, 1979, and 1980. Consumers had a right to be pissed.  It actually cost more to go from too much (the '77 MC) to too little (the '78 MC), and that's just one example.

      I was joking. I think he hates the colonnades and the malaise era. More '76 or even '75 GP for me. I had trouble with the '77 lights up front (the center lamp in between) and the taillight medallion with the swoopy wedding invitation calligraphy inside it. I was also sweet on '76 and '75 GLMs for their borrowing from or sharing with the GP (still drool over their fully instrumented dash), but being more manageable in terms of size.

      I didnt know that.  That is a cool thing to happen.  I didnt even know that electronic communication was not allowed  Hence the camera usage being "frowned" upon...  DUH... I was fooled into thinking that because in the college ranks they allowed for this, that the MLB approved it at their level but old school mentality and teams didnt want to adopt it.   As you know, I dont follow MLB as closely as I used to. Since the Expos skipped town in 2004.  I do watch NCAA womens college softball with my daughter. Religiously I might add.    Many fans feel this way I gather.  Im in tune with the Houston Astros bashing.  I know it exists.  The way I sees it though: The MLB deserves a team like the Houston Astros.

      Yeah... I like the Colonnades and like you said, the earlier ones had a certain style on one element that the later ones screwed up but at the same time, the earlier ones had a nicer style on another element  that the later ones screwed up.  And that would be for all Colonnades across the different brands and models.

      Because of the Astros, they now allow electronic communication between pitcher/catcher for calling pitches, PitchCom.  Off all the bad things covid brought upon us, the Astros not having to face live crowds after getting caught cheating, is by far the worst.
