That is probably why only new diesel cars are facing the largest penalties / taxes.

I'm surprised that nobody is considering a legal challenge because new diesel cars will be penalised for failing to comply with a standard that does not exist. The scope of RDE2 has not yet been agreed and implementation is not likely before 2020.

Remember "there is no situation so bad that it cannot be made worse by the involvement of politicians".

Legal challenge?

Remember, "there is no situation so bad that it cannot be made worse by the involvement of lawyers."

In the meantime there continues to be a serious decline in diesel sales - which for current oil owners is not good. Bearing in mind that any legal action will probably drag on - with the help of the lawyers - residuals are surely going to take a hit.

Hope the Dealers don’t do a double whammy and withdraw the scrappage scheme within the next 12 months 😉

The USA has very few VW diesels, so is this related to VW petrol vehicles?
