Drivers still like VW

&quot;Drivers still like VW&quot; <i>at the moment</i>, before any fixes have been applied.<p>It&#x27;s a bit abstract right now. Let&#x27;s see what happens after the fix is rolled out, the owners need to schedule their appointments for the recalls, deal with (possible) lower fuel economy and performance, and (possible) lower resale values.

What is amazing is the fact people don&#x27;t realize is that what VW did indirectly caused disability and even death, but hey if it does not affect me I&#x27;ll just buy a VW anyway.<p>I&#x27;m really sick of these TBTF corporations doing whatever they want. They do something illegal that causes a lot of harm and if they are caught they just cruise the waters of ignorance to safety and then rinse and repeat.<p>We are just sheep...

I&#x27;m not terribly surprised, considering that the whole scandal is basically meaningless to the consumer experience. I wonder how many people who report on stories like this are aware of how little the average consumer actually cares about deals and tricks between giant corporations and the Government regarding changes in emissions characteristics that they will probably never notice.

For the most part, their cars are better and they have a reputation for long lasting cars(At least I feel that is the case when compared to the other &quot;comparable cars&quot;) You have a happy user base. I&#x27;m not too concerned with the whole emissions scandal: 1. I don&#x27;t have a diesel and 2. Its a regulation issue. If VW acted in bad faith and degraded the guarenteed performance.. I would be pissed. We haven&#x27;t see a response on what is going to happen so far.<p>Most of the responses to the finding have been snarky comments about &quot;how vw is bad.&quot; (We need to find out what went wrong and fix it... circlejerking about the whole issue, or the negative press, isn&#x27;t going to do a lot of good)

I own a 2011 Jetta Sportwagen TDI (my 3rd tdi, and 4th --and last -- vw&#x2F;audi), and I am royally pissed. I will not buy another VW nor Audi. I loved my tdi for its combination of performance, comfort and carbon footprint (42 mpg). I try to &quot;vote with my dollars&quot;, and am strongly pro-environment. Outrage is appropriate here, imho. I encourage everyone to boycott VW&#x2F;Audi. Let&#x27;s send a signal.

As an anecdote, I still plan on my next car being a TDI VW Golf, assuming they are available in the US by the time I&#x27;m looking in a couple years.<p>As another commenter said, I really don&#x27;t care about &quot;the deals and tricks between giant corporations and the Government&quot;.

Even if they cheated during the tests, they were exactly the same cars before and after the reveal of that fact, so I don&#x27;t see why people would suddenly stop liking their cars.

1&#x2F;4 of the US VW inventory being 2L diesel is a lot higher than I would&#x27;ve guessed

Electrocution death row contenders still like electricity.<p>Linkbait, anyone?
