While BMW does have CF advances, they don’t have this...The reason to work with Lexus. BMW’s CF factory is very labor intensive.

In both of your scenarios the ban and the scarcity are temporary which makes it a poor investing opportunity. Let’s also be real, anyone looking at a VW as an investment opportunity doesn’t make good decisions.

There is absolutely no reason to think the 2015 models are non-compliant. Do you really think they would have added the extra expense of the AdBlue system and still not met the standard? Do you really think they would go forward and admit fault in all of this and call out that it is 11 million cars when they know that…

I wouldn’t put anyone coming on here to be in the category of people who those Ads were targeting. Your choice of the Golf Sportwagen TDI further demonstrates that you are not the target of those commercials. You got the one “enthusiast” car of the bunch. Regardless, in the end the middle finger is really going to…

My comment is in relation to Tavarish’s post as a whole not the one person who has a 2015 that doesn’t apply to the recall. I was replying to Tavarish’s comment, not the 2015 car. There is no reason to think there will be scarcity on the 2015/6 models once they get cleared by the EPA, so his argument falls apart.

Just wait. CARB is the one pushing this. They will make it so you cannot register any of these vehicles without them being “fixed”.

There this little called not being able to register your car because it has pending recalls or can’t pass emissions. It’s not as simple as, “I’m just not going to take my car in”. Sorry but you haven’t found a loophole in the system.

You will be wrong. The prices of these cars will plummet. The “fix” to these cars will either decrease both their efficiency AND performance or take up space on the car with a urea injection. The cars are not going to just keep existing as they are, they are getting recalled. You usually have solid advice, but this…

If they actually received those credits, it could be an interesting twist.

VW did that not the EPA. I’m guessing that is just so they don’t end up recalling cars that were just sold. That’s just good business.

All it takes is a good PR company. A good corporate culture wouldn’t have allowed it to happen in the first place. They would have realized that they couldn’t achieve their emissions targets and implemented a urea system.

They could also take a flamethrower to their stock value, because that’s what that statement would do. They are in serious damage control right now. They are going to do/say whatever they can to try to sound cooperative and apologetic because they think it will help them save face in the public’s/EPA’s eyes. They know…

I try to look at these things in a vacuum not how they compare to other crappy companies. I could care less how they respond, the simple fact of what they did is inexcusable. They didn’t make a mistake; They intentionally created a system to trick emissions tests so they could spew pollutants up to 40X the legal limit…

They got caught with their pants down. They literally had no choice. They didn’t do this out of the goodness of their hearts. They first tried lying about it and that didn’t work so they had to come clean. The EPA threatened to not allow the 2016 models to go on sale if VW didn’t come clean, so they did. You must have…

It’s pretty simple. GM didn’t INTENTIONALLY make faulty ignitions. A design flaw ended up causing accidents and unfortunately deaths, which they didn’t disclose soon enough and they are finally accepting responsibility for. On the flip side, VW knowingly created a software to intentionally circumvent Clean Air laws…

No Sh!t sherlock! Both cars use Ohlins Dual Stage Damper Technology and are the ONLY production cars to use it. You might want to educate yourself before commenting.

So this is clearly where we differ. I don’t want a car that 12,000+ other people have. That’s beyond boring. One of many reasons I got a V60 Polestar was because it was part of a limited series. It is a numbered, limited edition car. If I wanted what everyone else had, I would have gotten an M3 or a C63. I’m guessing…

So I haven’t seen any Charger Hellcat’s because they have’t been out for long enough, right. Yet I’ve already seen 4 Alfa 4C’s, a Cayman Gt4 and a 2016 911 GT3RS. Got anymore excuses? In case you are wondering, I have also seen 6 Polestars despite them being the rarest production car available currently in this…

And if you need a magazine to tell you it’s 3684lbs, here you go, Automobile Magazine S60 Polestar Review.

I don’t need to read C & R articles, I have numbers from the manufacturer thank you very much. Chinese sedan huh? I guess the Hellcat is Italian too then. Nothing in the S60 or V6o Polestar has anything to do with Geely, but I guess it’s just easier to ignore those things called facts and make things up. The cars are…
