We should ban any diesel Opels or Peugots from being sold in the U.S. That’ll learn them.
Aren’t Euro tests even more of a joke than the U.S. ones?

A widespread scandal across multiple manufacturers means diesel in the US for everything that isn’t a giant truck is dead.

Until an article named, “You can buy this 5 year old 535d for the price of a used coffee” shows up.

Except anything FCA, the ones coming from Jaguar Land Rover, the upcoming DuraMax ones in the Colorado/Canyon twins, and Mazda, if they ever get their rears in gear and bring the SkyActiv-D here.
They’re probably the only ones already sold here or earmarked to be sold here that haven’t been caught up in the emissions scandals as of late.

The scandal tarnishes them as well. Outside of the giant truck market, diesel has had serious problems gaining much traction in the US. The scandal means pretty much every affected VW diesel will have to get recalled and modded to meet compliance, and the customers who brought these cars are going to have to surrender something in the process (read; cars that are slower and/or less efficient than they were advertised to be)
We can gloss over these issues as car enthusiasts here on oppo, but enthusiasts are like an island relative to the nation of normal car buying public out there, and they’re not going to care too much for being stuck with a huge purchase they made based on lies. Many of them will not trust VW on diesel again because of this. If other manufacturers cheated as well, then similar consequences in the market await them, and the aggregate effect will be a car buying public in the US unwilling to buy Diesels in greater numbers.
