FWIW there isn't a single solitary car in the US that actually meets the requirements of CARB in normal use. Petrol OR diesel.
The only difference is that VWs specific way of achieving the correct figures in the completely unrepresentative test/emissions cycle that the legislators have designed is taking the piss. Really really taking the piss.
It's almost like they haven't actually read or understood what is written down.

i thought they were all at it, is it just the VW got caught?
Kia in the u.s. sometime ago got caught giving out false economy figures. They ended up having to pay the difference per miles per gallon as long as that new owner before they were caught, still kept the car.
Kia also in the U.S. did not operate a 7 year warranty as they do here in the U.K. their warranty stopped with the first owner.

I work in car finance with some new but mostly 2nd hand cars and the stories I get from the mechanics at each dealer. Even sifting through the bullshit, there are cars that you shouldnt touch with a pointy stick and most manufacturers seem to just experiment with each 'new' model. Lots of unofficial recalls with the poor punter at the end of a very smelly trail.

I hope they get fined the proper amount for each car. It would serve the feckers right.

It saddens me to say that I work for those bastards... when that crap came up last week I almost got a rage stroke! What utter knuckle-dragger executive decided that it's a good idea to just cheat using software well knowing that those cars will NEVER make the emission standards! Talking about some short-sighted greedy idiots right there. It was bound to happen that some independent source will actually test the emissions instead of just relying on the ECU readouts... the shitstorm they're into now was by no margin worth it, to just sell a few diesels extra on the US market. Giant fine (check!), criminal charges investigation (check!), stocks tanking massively (check!), massive loss of image and customer trust (check!), they're going to loose so much money on this shit...! I'm already "looking forward" to next years bonus rounds and salary (non-) increase... " you know guys we had a rough year on the US market... so nothing for you this year! Enjoy". F***K you and f***k whatever idiot decided to cheat and get everybody into trouble. It really sucks to be on the sinking garbage barge! :x
