US EPA says VW intentionally violates clean air standards

[clusters]

The Environmental Protection Agency on Friday ordered Volkswagen to fix nearly 500,000 VW and Audi diesel cars that the agency said are intentionally violating clean air laws by using software that evades EPA emissions standards.
VW, which owns Audi, faces billions of dollars in fines, although exact amounts were not determined.
The cars, all built in the last seven years, include a device programmed to detect when they are undergoing official emissions testing, the EPA said, adding that the cars only turn on full emissions control systems during that testing. The controls are turned off during normal driving situations, the EPA said.

Not really.

VW concealed facts but has now admitted wrongdoing, said Cynthia Giles, assistant administrator for the Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance. ?We expected better from VW,? she said. ?We take this very seriously.?

The EPA is destroying America with their asinine rules. They want money from VW. Every car in the world only make less than 20% of the worlds air pollution. Maybe they need the money to clean up the river they polluted in Colorado.

Volkswagen Canada has stopped selling certain diesel models in Canada after the German-based automaker was accused of cheating on U.S. air pollution tests for years.

?We have issued, as of today, a stop-sale order to our dealers in Canada for all the affected vehicles. That?s pending resolution of this matter,? VW Canada spokesperson Thomas Tetzlaff said in an interview Monday.
