I also bought a VW Golf GTD and ended up having to sell it right as the scandal was heating up.
Apart from the ~$10k I lost and the betrayal by VW executives, I was also upset that the car I bought to try and be a little bit eco-friendly was decidedly not.
I received a paltry payout from the class-action lawsuit, which helped. However I will never buy a VW-group car again. It has also forever jaded me about the lack of punishments for corporate malfeasance.
- neuronic 6y agoAre you also going to move your money from all major banks? Same pieces of thieving shits, same lack of accountability and punishments. USA only went after VW to put political pressure on Germany for their export surplus. It's literally the only reason why suddenly one of the hundreds of large corporations in the West needs to be held accountable for something while dozens of others - European and American - continue rampaging around.
