Agreed. I'm sure TDI owners will be getting a nice incentive to trade in their cars also.

I guess a stop-sale has been issued because the TDIs have been pulled from VW's website. I wonder what other car companies have done this as well.

I have diesel and so does creeper (VW) and I think greenformula !cruze ? There are quite a few issues with the Cruze diesel exhaust which has earned the car a bad rep, so I can see why VW cheated there, otherwise they prob have the same DPF/NOx issues (maybe they do, but I don't frequent their forums)
