Mitsubishi faked fuel economy test

[NumLock21]

Mitsubishi HQ was raided recently when the government found out they have been faking fuel ecomomy on some of their cars sold in Japan. The data manuplitation was done on cars produced after June 2013, on their "Wagon", "Space", "Dayz", and "Dayz Roox", which are all produced for Nissan. A former manager confesses to the fake data when he told his employees to do so. Their stock fell 20%, with the additional 15% on Wednesday, when the news got out. Mitsubishi will need to submit their full report to the goverment by April 27.

Volkswagen did it to, right? Maybe they are just doing what they think is within their right to report.

Getting on topic: this isn't news. Every single car manufacturer has been doing this since, I don't know, forever? Real world tests and driving habits have already shown and concluded that the manufacturer stated fuel economy is like what, 30-40% under the actual fuel economy? It's partly to blame on the manufacturers themselves for intentionally lowering the fuel usage on a car in their spec sheets, but also on the EPA (and the EU equivalent NEDC) for using very, very, VERY not-real-world scenarios when doing the fuel economy tests on vehicles. Like, it's laughable.

 

Here's the NEDC test, as tested by Dutch YouTube channel Autoblog. It has translations, so don't worry about not understanding a word they're saying.. 

 

It's laughable. Like, to a point where it actually stops being funny and becomes an obvious fuck-over for consumers.

Nissan outed them, and they are expected to get compensation from Mitsubishi for the manipulations. 

[Brennan Price]

I've heard about this on the news almost everywhere... So which companies can we trust anymore?

Well really it's up to people what they want. Do you either want a car that has a descent amount of power or would you rather a car that lack any power. Why are we putting impossible targets onto car manufacturers. Do governments know how hard it is to lower emission without making a car that is unsafe because it's underpowered. Or is this just going to be the catalytic converter crap all over again. Takes time to make cars better, you can't just go this is your limit now have fun building a descent car that meets that limit.

Americans can spell that because we're trained to recognize the name. Shoot with a .50 I believe is the standing order.
