It is hillarious these high-performance high fuel efficiency European style diesels are against EPA regulations. It is an example of how US regulations mandate Americans will have second rate products.

A buyback of emissions-cheating cars was one solution Volkswagen offered in federal court Thursday

Some car owners pay to modify their cars to evade emissions regulations, in the hope of getting better performance. Why would they take up VW's offer - so they can end up with a car of comparable value which doesn't perform as well as the car they have now?

the TDI vehicles were hard to keep in stock

I don't believe that for a minute. Before all this happened I was looking at a Jetta Sportwagen (with 2.5L gas engine) and went clicking around at VW dealer sights. Normally, they would have 5-6 Jettas and 5-6 Golfs in stock, but 4 out 6 of each type were TDIs that the dealerships were stuck with and discounted to try to get rid of them.

VW’s deception is less ofensive than the Obamacare lies.

Just saw a piece in a British paper yesterday saying that *all* diesels recently sold there flunk emissions tests in “real work” use.

I'm on my third diesel (none VWs) and I'm a diesel fanatic.I hope this doesn't mean the end of diesels here but if the Rats,or CARB,have any say it probably does.

I see an opportunity for the right person. Find out the buying price VW offers and beat it. Resell the cars to folks who don’t care and simply want mileage.

how about VW strip out all the EPA crap they had to put in the TDI’s so the owners can have a car the works the way it should.

Then give the big. FU to the EPA.
