DEALERS FILE CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST VW, SCOUT MOTORS

[joewilk45]

VW doesn't want their name to become ( VW / Very Wrong for America ) They haven't been a marketing wizard since diesel gate so I think they fold here a) because it makes financial sense in a time when their loosing money. B) They know the ramifications of losing another big lawsuit and paying huge legal fees.

Has anyone seen the sweet TDI engine swaps I to GM, Jeep, Toyota, full size trucks? Lots of TDI engines sitting around with no where to go. Turn high rpm but work great if you can figure the gearing out.

I wasn't referring to who VW was talking with I was referring to that VW isn't in a great place to fight another big lawsuit along with all their other troubles. And only thing I swap out is Circuit Breakers no more fumes torque threw electricity especially when it's free from the sun

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

Actually, I sent my deposit in spite of the fact that VW is involved. I'm still not sure their reputation has recovered from the emissions cheating scandal. I wouldn't buy it if it were marketed as a true VW, but the hope that the cheating branch of the company won't need to get involved with an EV.

Did someone somewhere say something about the fact that the engine (generator) would be made by VW and that that would be the reason the dealers would win? I can’t remember.

I don’t know squat but had a thought - a scenario where if the Scout had a motor it would be sold by dealers. If it was a pure EV, it could then be sold DTC. Sounds crazy, but who knows. Still holding out for a pure EV

Whatever the case, there’s nothing else out there that comes close to my Defender so I’m not looking at any other brands. The Scout has clean great lines. I predict it will be similar to the Defender that keeps selling better every year, which is very rare. Timeless lines (and a good reputation) will do that for a model. A pure EV Scout and my mild hybrid Defender would be perfect for me for what I do.

Since the tire vendor is BF Goodrich, does that mean they will also sell the Scout at Discount Tire?
