    Dieselgate, The Canadian Edition

    Book value Well I suppose if they went by Canadian book value, but still Mirrored the US Model for compensation, that would be OK, to some extent. I still say the US compensation should be converted to Canadian Dollars.

    Dieselgate, The Canadian Edition

    NO WAY ! The Canadian VW site says accepting this $1000 goodwill card does NOT in any way effect the buyback or the restitution payment. Canadian emission standards are exactly the same as US standards. Canadian owners are entitled to the same compensation as US owners, in fact, maybe even...
