    Has the 2.0L Fix Changed Anyone's mind?

    In Canada, if we choose buyback we might get $11,600 + $5,100 = $16,700. So I personally would go for emission modification when the approval reaches Canada, but that depends on how my parents (especially my mom) want to do.

    Spoke with the head of communications at CARB

    Looks like VW is definitely as hard as they can to spare the Gen 1's from the crusher, as the Gen 1 represents the majority among all the dieselgate TDIs.
