VW has suspended sales of all its 2016 models powered by TDI (Turbo Direct Injection) diesel engines until they are "certified" by Uncle's EPA, which may take awhile. Possibly, a long while.

So, until further notice:

No more Beetle TDI. No more Golf (or Golf Sportwagen TDI).

No more Jetta TDI.

Which means… no more affordable diesel-powered cars for you.

Period.

Because VW was the only car company selling diesel-powered cars that weren't also expensive cars. And even if they are allowed to resume selling diesel-powered cars, they are going to be more expensive.

Because Uncle.
