[QUOTE="vintageracer, post: 84286, member: 1729"] If a company [B]lied[/B] to me about their products performance and knowingly cheated on the rules for vehicles, I would not be happy. VW diesels command a premium price and the "cheat" made them seem to be legal when in fact they were not. The EPA requires a certain level of emissions performance for a vehicle to be allowed on the roads. These cars will [U][B]have[/B][/U] to have their programs changed and then their emissions will have to be controlled to the point where economy and performance are compromised. The public bought a car expecting a level of performance which will no longer be provided. Apparently these VWs produced 10 - 40 times more pollution than comparable vehicles, making them basically the worst polluters instead of among the best as VW claimed. All of this gained the company increased profits because they did not spend money on effective systems even though they charged the price for them or they could be sold at a lower price and therefore "steal" sales from legitimate companies. I am pretty sure every one of those cars will be tracked and adjusted. The resulting car will not be what the buyer expected when they made the purchase. The used market value of their cars will also be negatively affected. David [/QUOTE]
