It's it also supposed to get the too-high-emissions vehicles off the road? It seems like letting people drive them around for two more years is counter productive to that goal.

It's not counter productive, its just not super productive.

But I think the concerns are less about getting these specific cars off the road immediately, and more so ensuring that other manufacturers are scared away from trying to pull this shit again.

They’d still be legal under the 2008 emissions regulations, just not under the newer ones.

There are plenty more cars on the road from even older times, with far worse emissions.
