Dieselgate Scandal

[Guest001]

I don't think anyone will get any kind of payout. I think we'll get the fix that makes our car compliant with legislation and that will be it. Anything else will be subject to legal action.

I was just making a point when someone with extras intimated they should for instance get paid for tinting. Dream on.

We will have to fight for almost anything above what VW thinks they can get away with I would think.

I wasn't questioning your post per se, just outlining how I think it will play out: which is pure speculation in any case.

What I don't understand is why anyone thinks they will get anything other than a fix of the problem - this is not some opportunity to make money? The resale issue, which some seem to be concerned about, is a short term hit based on sentiment. Eventually the economic equilibrium will prevail, and the value of Volkswagen cars will find their natural place in the secondhand marketplace. With respect to whether the remedy (whatever it will be) reduces the driving enjoyment, performance, economy or any other factor of their car is a personal issue and something that people will need to consider going forward, either by selling the car and possibly taking a hit to distance themselves from the brand or through some legal redress to seek compensation.
