Oh horsefeathers. How were they harmed? They got cars that performed better than would have been possible had VW not "cheated".
Case dismissed. With prejudice!
False advertising?
Maybe the fact the cars clearly now don't represent what they were sold as being self evident and are further considered a disease being widespread worldwide & as a mental aspect people paid up for in financing or the additional higher costs of a TDI has hurt the resale value of the TDI's as an investment & the owners now must deal with that mental cruelty too?
The looks and abuse people suffer as drivers or owners isn't that a physiological damage since a car is kind of considered a social status?
Isn't the fact that when people bought and paid up for all the petrol gasoline & in advance when buying a diesel completely upfront here in USA, yup that's a damage when you did that based on believing you were helping the environment?
Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't TDI's in 2008> <MY 2009-2016 there were no incentives from VAG to buy the cars from the and aside of the IRS rebate tax deduction that every tax payer paid for right & the interest rates offered by VAG or VW bank indeed were also higher than a GTI or a Rabbit at zero % while a TDI with perfect credit was above 7% & due to demand?
Monkey see, Monkey gassed?
