"California Rejects Volkswagen’s Plan To Fix Polluting Diesel Cars"

"California regulators Wednesday again rejected Volkswagen’s plan to fix diesel cars that were programmed to cheat on air pollution tests, saying the proposal lacked enough detail for the state to gauge its effectiveness.

The California Air Resources Board, which helped uncover the cheating last year, sent a letter to Volkswagen executives saying the plan’s details are “incomplete, substantially deficient, and fall far short of meeting the legal requirements” to ensure that the cars follow the state’s pollution regulations.

A Volkswagen spokesman could not be reached for comment Wednesday."
