That kind of lawsuit would be on contingency.

The value of a car is determined by many things, but at least part of the determination is based on performance and economy. Regardless of the reason, any car that has had its performance/economy downgraded will lose value. If Volkswagen's fix downgrades the performance/economy of the vehicles, they will certainly lose value. And an argument can be made that Volkswagen should be made accountable for the loss of value that their modification produced. |

So, just to return to a touchstone after 52 pages, am I correct in assuming that VW TDI vehicles are no longer the official vehicle of Paceliners everywhere? ................

IMO people with 5 year old cars are the ones that are more damaged because a 10 years old car is pretty much ready to be swapped... the ones that bought a car last year or right a few months ago must be pissed...
What are they going to do?? Offer to buy the cars back for credit so everybody gets a brand spanking car or something???? Quote:

What I got from Michael Horn's testimony.
My 2014 is going to require an Adblue retrofit. This retrofit is going to take a while, maybe more than a year. It is going to negatively affect performance and fuel mileage. My operating costs are going to go up. That said I have two choices. With 2K miles left before the bumper to bumper warranty runs out, now is the time to work with VWoA and my dealer to talk about a realistic, above water trade for a GSW SE. I am going to start that process tomorrow. My other choice is to stick to my original plan of owning it for 8-10 years, getting the refit done and hoping that VW extends the emissions warranty past 200K miles, because that's what it is going to take. Tunes and deletes are not on my radar screen as long as I live in a CARB state. |

Here's what I got from Michael Horn today: nothing. His testimony was just the opening salvo in what promises to be a long PR and legal battle. I remain hopeful that top VW officials will go to prison, that the company will be forced to buy back my car (because what I've long suspected to be the case is now almost certainly true: the TDI cannot perform as promised), and that I'll never do business with VW again. Having said that, I still have no idea what actually is going to happen, and neither, including Michael Horn, does anybody else. Today was kabuki. Or maybe theater of the absurd.

Now we know why the smaller TDI cars were not offered in an AWD variant..

I agree with Akelman. Executives will end up in prison related to these tactics and behaviors. |
