So they’re blackmailing every nation that has a VW factory? Fuck that noise. The factory workers builds the cars that the company makes profit off of. If anything, the pay cuts and recompensation need to come from the management that fostered this situation, including re-couping executive pays of Peich and…

Ditto... and now I have a much shorter commute and had been thinking of trading the TDI in for something gas powered... then the car’s resale value went through the floor.

As an owner of one of these vehicles I would love to see VW propose an actual solution and implementation timeline soon. If it has to come at the hands of a judge, so be it. I’m kind of getting pissed at being left in limbo on the issue for 6 months with VW thinking they have many more months to work out their optimum…

I think anyone that owned a VW and saw the value drop 15-20%+ and was offered a tiny deal on a new car might still be miffed.

Oh.

Niether. They will be held in contempt. Then they will file a motion, and the a counter motion, and so on and so on.

It’s right in the article:

Your ignorance is absolutely astonishing. As you can see from this chart from NASA, the carbon in the atmosphere exponentially higher than any other time period ever, and all of that carbon is directly attributed to our burning of fossil fuels. I will make it simple for you: CO2 is a greenhouse gas, which contributes…

Agreed. The only exception is if your car has appreciated in value in those 5 years, but that’s ultra rare.

I like how you mention Andrew’s “lack” of accountability on someone who is simply trying to hold a company accountable for blatantly lying to their customers for years.

If 5 years after you bought a new car, the manufacturer offered to buy it back for the exact same amount you bought it for, you would be absolutely insane to not take it. Especially if that vehicle was produced illegally, which, coincidentally has destroyed the resale value of said car. But you know, I must be some…

Dear VW, I’ll have my '11 Golf 6MT all shined up and ready for that full purchase price buy back. Just let me know which dealer in Seattle to drop it off at. I’d prefer Carter, but since I bought it at University, I’ll understand if that’s where it needs to go. Make sure you take care when you make out the check, a…

As an old school Audi fanboy - Audi pissed off those fans decades ago. Oh sure the R8 program begat some le mans fame, but Audi by and large has avoided all motorsport where it can use a proper quattro system since the old RS6 touring cars. Their product lineup is “generic german luxury cars and SUVs” with very few…

Sorry man. I don’t think anything can beat the sounds coming out of this LS7 with an 8 into 1 header/collector.

This guy in his old school hot rod who got tired of hearing Honda’s rev their engines. Jump to 20 seconds for the fun

I always knew the rogue engineer line was bullshit.

I love seeing blasphemous cars. I was never a huge fan of numbers matching with original tires that have original factory air still in them. Building an amazing car is far more important than making sure all the logos match, and Nick has done just that.

I’ll just keep sitting here patiently waiting for my cheaty diesel buyback check...

The more I hear, the more I’m convinced they won’t be touching mine...... unless it’s in return for a buyback check.
