VW Emissions Scandal - The Effects
Frenzy:
Depends a lot at the moment:
* Are they the only manufacturers guilty
* will the $h*t stick in terms of public perception
* will the fines and share price losses be too damaging
If so then you'll probably see at best key brands of VAG having to be sold off to recoup losses in the short term. If its truly crippling then VW themselves could end up merging/ taken over...
Just proves what i've been saying all along - dervs are dirty, dirty, dirty :evilgrin: :fighting:

I love being right. Shame my wife doesn't read this forum. According to her, I'm never right.
Hurdy:
Glad I bought a Seat Diesel now. With the EA288 engine......unless there is more to this saga to come? :scared: :signLOL:
Honestly though, who here gives a monkeys if their diesel is dirtier than they first thought?
As long as it gives the power and makes decent mpg that is all most people are bothered about. There will be future fallout from higher residual depreciation, but again if you have an xx year old diesel and you are keeping it do you really care, especially if it has already saved you thousand in fuel costs?
Heads will roll on the VAG executive board and the shares will take an initial major hit, but it will all bounce back and by 2020 who will remember?
My 2 penneth. Obviously my opinion too. :rolleye:

Good time to buy some VAG shares IMO.
