Some will continue to drink the kool aid.
The $1,000 was great, and they promised 100% transparency. How long ago was that? Have you read the articles where there is documented proof that VW has been anything BUT transparent? Where has the transparency happened? I seem to have missed it.
Employees ordered to destroy evidence. Court filings where they shirk responsibility. Low level managers thrown under the bus. Only a handful of employees, they claim, were responsible for this. Yet, we come to find out this was institutional fraud from the bottom to the top. Even a PowerPoint presentation documenting how to cheat emissions.
Fact is this is corporate greed. Owners of VW's are the victims. As is the environment, and every American who has to breathe the noxious fumes these dirty vehicles spew.
You cannot beat me with facts. The truth is the truth. I happen to have read almost every article I could on this. I also know a little about consumer law. The facts support my stance. Sorry to burst your bubble.
Oh and I've already picked out my Mercedes GLS 550. No Prius or Hyundai for me. Once the deal is announced I will be parking my Passat for good and getting behind the wheel of my new car. Easily the best car I've ever driven, by a large margin.
No cool aid, just a rational and objective analysis of facts, no conspiracy theories
and unsubstantiated claims. I can see you don't let facts get in the way. I personally
am not aggrieved. If you want to lose your s***t feel free dude. I think you are being
hyperbolic and spew overly emotional irrelevant rhetoric.
No bubble burst, your logic is a massive non sequitur. No offense, you're incapable
of a debate based on your lack of grasping facts and communication skills.
"Victims"? Boo Who! Waaa, cry, sniff, gnashing of teeth, WHY ME!!! My gosh man,
get a grip. That is an insult to people who are true victims in life. This is a minor
inconvenience to me, may be a PIA for others, but victum? Ha ha! Get out of town.
There is NO DEBATE, they screwed up, VW admits it. VW is game to make good
with fines and yet fully defined fixes and compensation. You want to repeat the
guilt and victimhood rhetoric ad naueseum. You are making a straw man argument.
No one doubts VW did this intentionally and it did affect consumers, owners. It is
your level of outrage I find irrational.
As far as your self brag about you entertaining a Benz GLS 550, Ha ha! Whatever.
That appeal to authority does not impress. The GLS 550's critical reviews are kind
of low, and it can cost over $100,000, so it shows your lack of judgment and the
old adage "A fool and their money are soon parted". I don't believe you.
Depreciation or lease cost on a Benz GLS in 4 years could buy a new Golf R outright.
Apples and oranges. If I wanted a $70K base GLS 550, I'd wait six years and get one
for $20K, like all Benz's, with 28% residual value after 6 years. The parts and repair
cost are so high people can't wait to dump those money pits. Sorry to burst your
cool aid bubble. People like you, low facts and logic and victim perspective does
fascinate me.
