South Korea's environment ministry said today it will decide later this month whether to revoke the certification of 32 vehicle models made by Volkswagen after prosecutors accused the German automaker of fabricating documents on emissions and noise-level tests.

If the ministry decides to revoke the certification of the affected models from Volkswagen and its Audi and Bentley units, they will be suspended from sale in the country, the ministry said in a statement.

And Germany will now find some standard that Hyundai and Kia do not "meet" and ban them from Germany. It's reminiscent of the old game the Japanese used called "type acceptance" that kept US and European cars and other products out of Japan allegedly because they couldn't pass the deliberately unclear standards. The French had the last laugh however. They let Honda unload thousands of cars at a French seaport, and then said the cars could only be sold after each was inspected to see if it met a standard they were developing.
It took 1 1/2 years to develop the standard but by then the salt air had made the Hondas unsaleable!
