Oops, my mistake. Post first think later.

Your point is obviously if they have to adjust the cars to meet the
US test then its that, which will lead to the poor performance.

Yes. VW sell on performance from their little engines and now it turns out they just
cheated. They could meet the requirements but they would have less performance and may
not be competitive.

Now they are just illegal to sell if they don't pass the tests so they will have to
down rate all the cars and see if anyone still wants a low powered car.


But this doesn't really ring true does it ?

If people bought diesel VW's simply on the strength of manufacturer's
claims, and were totally oblivious to this supposed poor performance
then fair enough.

But's that's not how things are in the real world is it ?
I'd imagine most people cjhoose a particular model either as
a result of reviews in car mags or as a result of personal
recommendations or word of mouth generally.

For instance given the supposed influence of "social media"
nowadays its rather surprising that all these rubbish VW's
to say nothing of Audis and Porshes haven't shown up on
Facbook ot Twitter or had websites devoted to them.
How they were all being left at the lights, being overtaken
by milk floats and cyclists etc

In fact all the evidence seems to indicate that the first time
anyone noticed how rubbish they were was two weeks ago as a result
of some tests in the US the details of which nobody appears to
understand.

So where is "Top Gear" when you need them ?

If there was ever an excuse for a one hour special, simply burning
up some VW's around the track this was it.
