Listen I said earlier that most people felt more secure putting their 100 dollar deposit down on the new Scout start up because of VW's affiliation correct ? I just find it hard to believe it's not going to be hard for dealers to connect the dots. Scout's CEO is VW's old one so kick your feet scream whatever be ready to patronize your local VW dealer if you want a Scout come 2029

Plus per article law firms are working on pro bono they get their fees from settlement so they feel pretty confident not to mention the law firm previously won a 15 Billion dollar settlement against VW. I think VW and scout go to arbitration and realize with a 1 billion dollar over budget new factory along with new labor agreements it might be wise to to integrate scout into the VW fold. In Lein of more potential legal settlements. Scout needs to start building things not promise things and be more transparent of what lies ahead.
