So what happens if affected owners refuse to get the refit that will hurt the performance of their vehicles???
I suspect nanny states like California will refuse to allow them to pass inspection or get annual license registration. Normal states will leave it to the owner to decide if he wants to choke down his mpg's and reduce horsepower by half just to be in "compliance".One thing is for sure. This will KILL the resale market for VW's. By January, you should be able to pick up even a good gas powered VW for half of what they're selling for now. Diesels even cheaper.
That would be a great bargain.
