Volkswagen, bless its cheatin’ heart, is finally ready to start atoning for spoofing consumers with more than 10 million “clean” diesel cars around the world. On Thursday, the company proposed a plan to buy back the nearly 500,000 cars it fitted with emissions scamming software and sold in the US between 2008 and 2015. For owners who want to keep their cars, VW will repair them and toss in some extra cash for their trouble.

Sure, many of those cars will go the refit route. But many—maybe most—will end up as junk. A lot of junk.
