The United States is not going to let the EPA hand out a death blow to Volkswagen. It would be the worse thing for US/Germany relations since the Eighth Air Force came to town. What there isn't a limit on is the damage VW just did to clean diesel specifically and its brand overall. If I was a dealer I'd seriously be looking at breach of contract on the part of VW and getting the gently caress out. In 10 years VW is going to wish the loss was only 18b.

If I'm a dealer I don't touch those cars without guidance from VW and at the same time I'm looking for ways out of the VW contract and suing them in return.

Fixing the car isn't the problem. The problem is that after the fix the car is not what people bought originally.

fknlo posted:God drat. I always find it weird that there's always one car that is a complete basket case. Reminds me of that guy with the 911 that just had random crazy poo poo going wrong and they wouldn't give him a new one until the story blew up on the internet. My mother is on her second new 2016 Lincoln MKX in a month and a half. The first one had a issue where the remote start would not work no matter how many resets, fobs or whatever the dealership threw at it. GM finally said, 'Stop this poo poo and go find her another car'. The second one had an intermittent rear view camera issue. She got it back Thursday after they replaced the camera, and now the front camera doesn't work.

I'm just surprised they did right by him. to be fair my father used to be general sales manager at this dealership and has known the general manager and associated top dudes for 30 years. i shudder to think how much some regular person would be getting hosed.

Murgos posted:It's probably something to do with selling the brand as much as it is the cars themselves. To build a brand and brand loyalty, you've first got to offer something people can afford and not just continually chop models because they don't have the same ROI as your top end offerings. Looking at you, Ford and GM

Your vehicle running without someone in it is illegal in Germany so none of the German built ones will have it from the factory. That isn't to say that it's not supported and the dealer might add it for you.

Every chance I get, I tell Audi that I think their move toward touchscreens is a mistake that zeroes out my brand loyalty. the touchscreen in my wife's 2021 Q5 is the best I've ever used and its still loving garbage compared to the click wheel in my S5.
