What a mess!
VW and authorities should have simply decided to grandfather all pre-stopsale TDIs and agree on an appropriate fine, immediately back then; no class action, no settlement, no buyback, etc.
Then EPA could require what they will of emissions for subsequent cars, which basically would suggest no more TDIs in America, since with the couple of years to work on it VW has yet to produce a fix for none of them, neither the 3L, nor any of the 2l, to date.
It is looking more and more like we may right now be driving the last of the VW diesels in America. If so, I wonder if this does not look so good for achieving the 85% goal?
