DEALERS FILE CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST VW, SCOUT MOTORS

[PMurphy]

“Bottom line is you will be able to buy Scout in some states, but not all. This is not a surprise to Scout/VW Group. There is nothing to suggest they are reconsidering DTC sales.”

EXCELLENT reference and informed observations. Live in WI and looks like I will be headed to MN for delivery.’ That is where the closest initial service center will likely be located so no big deal.

QUESTION: can a class action lawsuit referencing/citing many and varied state level laws even function legally?!

When is lawsuit come to trial does anyone know when there will be a ruling seems like it should be slam dunk but why's it taken so long to shake out. And what happens if VW / Audi dealers who usually own both decided to play hardball and draw line in the sand this is not just about Scout this is a NADA fight so tell me why not a quick ruling ?? Maybe because the dealers are also VW investors ?? But if what you state is true great for us but I have my doubts

Only 9.7% of VW shares are floated and I doubt auto dealers hold a substantial share of that. The Porsche-Piëch family owns 53.3% of the voting shares, The State of Lower Saxony owns 20% and Qatar Holdings LLC owns 17%.

You can track any federal case by creating a PACER account.

Plaintiffs are seeking a jury trial, monetary damages, legal fees, and an injunction against Scout to stop it from selling vehicles directly to consumers.

Sad and Stupid!!

Walmart, Sam’s, Costco are not going out and suing a new Ma and Pa store for opening on the corner.

The local country club and Municipal City Golf Courses are not suing TopGolf for lost future revenue.

ICE brands have had over 100 years in bed with Big Oil, times are changing!

Let it go! When will nine zeros be enough?

Does Quatar Holdings holding or any of the other major stock holders own VW dealerships or Audi and wouldn't it be in Scouts best interest to get this litigation behind them ? Why is it taking so long ??
