Volkswagen also pretty much got away with selling cars that do not reach power specifications (if you remove the environmental problem).

- toast0 3y agoI don't know about outside the US, but in the US, they had to offer to buy back the cars and/or modify them to fit the environmental spec. I don't know about power specs, but the mileage specs were done under the compliant engine control regime; so post modification you would get mileage to spec as opposed to the better mileage available earlier. The buy back option was based on pricing before the news broke and for a good condition vehicle, there was an adjustment for odometer miles, but the vehicle could be in any condition, just had to run and move on its own power. They were not permitted to resale purchased vehicles anywhere globally unless they were modified to properly comply with emissions controls. And they were forced into selling EVs and building a charging network. Maybe that will work out for them, maybe not.
