I thought they weren't allowed to offer any incentives, even if it wasn't part of the buyback deal, if those incentives would push the customer one way or another towards a decision.

They're not allowed to offer incentives in place of the settlement guidelines, but they are allowed to offer any incentives they want as long as there is no conflict.
It doesn't matter what they give me, I'm getting rid of mine and never looking back. I loved the car but it's been a lemon and the dealer in Durham region is The worst dealer I have ever dealt with. They turned me VW and Audi all together.

Can a 'merican post on your thread?
Can't speak about other technical issues,
Buy brakes and tires not a problem -- me thinks.
But I would concede the issue of SUN --- if stored in the open. Loathe sun baked cars

Durham region dealer? I bet I know who it is...and yeah, they have a HORRIBLE attitude.
The worst part about this for me is the dealer I deal with: they are one of the best dealerships I have ever dealt with.

Before I got the full buy back news, I was considering a new 2016 Camry
Local Toyota dealer offered choice of 6-7 dozen Camry units at MSRP with $5,500 off. ~~ (DOC fee $295)
Now my buy back is frozen at $25,272 and I will drive it free two more years. Then buy something 2018 Fall
Me thinks Toyota is pulling the limits on sales. They really want to be # 1

Currently all is quiet on the Western front.

Problem is when manufacturers start to get ambitions of being #1: back when Toyota was pushing for the top spot they had that nasty business with the unintended accelerator issue.
After that, VW announced that they wanted to be #1 by 2018 or so: now looks what happened to them. Don't know how they still managed to beat out Toyota though.
Its almost like once they have "#1" ambitions they start cutting extra corners to make cars cheaper.

Its in French, but from what I can read (Grade 9 French skills here) sounds like nothing new.

It's still the same pre-canned answer.
Looks to me like a canned response. The guy / gal in charge of the twitter account hasn't received any new instruction so he/she keeps answering the same blurb as the previous days.

Thanks for the clarification: I was just picking out key words to figure it out
.I'm suspecting that its some sort of bot that is responding to tweets: I bet there's not actually a real person entering responses. That would be hilarious if true.

They beat Toyota because Toyota sales figures dropped more than VWs.

Looks like a pre-canned response until the hearing is completed.

I have to replace two cars this year, and if that is all we are going to get as an update today..then I will be finished with VW.
I used to like VW, but they shafted us with the "goodwill" cards, and they are leaving us in the dark on the repair/buyback. I don't care if it is court ordered....they have had almost a year to figure this out.
They clearly don't care about us Canadian consumers.

Just looking at those Twitter posts: they show as recent, but they were from 8:30am - 8:50am this morning...so probably is a canned response.

Yeah, they're replying to everyone on twitter with the same response. Seems like people tweeting them are getting tired of waiting too.

As a Canadian customer, I'm about to kindly ask VW to go do something very inappropriate with themselves.

If you do, make sure to include @VWcanada not just @vwcanadatdi. I'm sure it was set up to deflect bad news from their main feed.
Think we're going to have to chill cause this could go on for years.
