You're correct they don't, and actually in many states, the cars ARE emissions compliant as ithey sit because there is no emissions testing in many states, or the standards are not as high as CARB.

I don't think you can claim that they are emissions compliant because of a lack of state testing. They had to be federally compliant to be sold, and they weren't.

For those preferring to opt out of the VW fix and join the 'rolling coal' club, I would expect that relicensing will be a problem, as well as any warranty claims for those still under warranty.

Heads of development at Audi and Porsche resign.

Meanwhile, back at BMW, an X3 20d exceeds Euro 6 emissions limits by 11 times in an independent road test. BMW denies using defeat devices, as their shares drop 10%.

This could be a hit that passenger car diesels don't recover from.

Those who opt to not have theirs fixed are far from rolling coal.

From a dealer motivation standpoint, absolutely.

From a security of warranty and resale value perspective, time will tell.

Looking at the notice of violation(posted by JCL above) EPA has a a more important authority in approving vehicle sales in the US. They successfully strong armed VW which was forced to admit cheating.

Right. Pulling their certification for importing new cars is not the same as prohibiting registration of used and already in use vehicles. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out. While I do believe this will probably all blow over soon, I am glad I don't currently own a TDI due to the up coming potential hassle.
