Technofreak: I'll bet VW aren't on their own here. The others are yet to be caught.
On the positive side these engines are probably much cleaner than many jap import diesels you see leaving a permanent smoke screen in their wake.
gzt: I can see why people would be hopping mad if they bought one for the environmental halo. Should have got a Prius or an Outlander PHEV ; ).
Is there any chance they get away with this under German law and kimd of did not adjust for the provision for defeat devices under American law? It just seems so weird and I hope the full story comes out eventually.

joker97: this is going to get interesting when they test all the cars and compare to the claims.

That might be closer than you think.
VAG are in really very deep crap now. They've admitted that the "issue" affects 11 million cars globally with that engine.
Wow.

According to German papers online, they've "set aside" 6.5 billion Euro. My guess is that won't come close to covering the cost they'll be facing in the US alone.
Radio NZ interviewed a US law firm commencing class action. They commented that they'd never seen customers so furious.

joker97: Probably not. There have been scandals of sorts by many major car manufacturers. Usually a big fine and that's it. Remember VW have pretty clever lawyers too.
