re: Volkswagen at it again...

It is odd that they have been doing it for years, but only got caught shortly after Chevy started selling the Cruze diesel....(yes, they have been out since 2014...still).

VW's competitors have either introduced diesels with elaborate, expensive emissions equipment to meet standards or they've opted not to sell a diesels here at all.

That's the bigger injustice here....a significant portion of VW's business in the US was based on a cheat that they used to gain a competitive edge. BMW, Chevrolet, and Toyota have been (as far as we know) playing by the rules.

I imagine most of the customers won't be racing to the dealer to get the recall work complete, as the fix will likely involve equipment that will negatively impact performance, fuel efficiency, and trunk space.
