Volkswagen out to fix big diesels in emissions scandal

An attorney for Volkswagen on Thursday told a US judge that the carmaker thinks it can fix larger diesel vehicles involved in a costly emissions-cheating scandal. Bringing its VW, Porsche, and Audi vehicles with 3-liter engines in line with air quality promises could spare the automaker from having to buy them back. "The company believes it can fix the 3-liter to the standard to which those cars were originally certified," Volkswagen attorney Robert Giuffra said during a status hearing in San Francisco federal court.
