Bulletin from the GHG world news center (crude alerting noises and lousy Morse Code in the back ground):

Yup, the EPA finally let VW sell the 20,000 or so new TDI diesel cars they had in stock when sales were stopped in late 2015. That would be uneventful, but they’re rebating them $5k and throwing in one hell of an extended warranty on the engine and emissions system. After a near two year TDI drought they’re selling fast, best make your move if you want one. Or wait for the 60,000 or so bought back latest generation TDIs to appear on VW used car lots, or Chevy’s upcoming Cruze diesel…
