The most recent cars, in the 2015-16 model years, can be fixed starting next year, he said, but he offered no timetable for the first generation, which accounts for the vast majority of the faulty cars.
So there's your answer. I'm ready to talk to a lawyer.

is the EPA or whoever in the US going to accept that plan though? taking 'years' to fix cars they knowingly sold with faulty emissions equipment, actively polluting the air? for the US, in the "big picture" it's really not a big deal at all, minuscule really from an environmental impact standpoint, but the principal of the thing?
