Editor's Disclaimer

To be very honest — nobody actually said this. AI wrote it in the style of the archive to keep this page from feeling empty while we chase down real quotes. Enjoy the fiction responsibly.

“Honestly speaking, we knew the diesel emissions could be optimized further, but the marketing team had already printed 'Clean Diesel' on 40,000 brochures. At some point, the narrative becomes more expensive to change than the engineering. That's not how we phrase it in board meetings, obviously.”
