VW put up their own website about the whole thing, http://vwdieselinfo.com/. So far all it has is apologies and FAQs with non-answers. VW posted:I want to turn in my vehicle – can I and how?

Jetta hybrid. 48 highway 42 city. I can't even get 42 highway in my tdi, but I drive 75 on my way home, and there's no way in hell I'm going to get 42 city.

It makes absolutely no sense but I have seen it countless times with the decisions they make. It's never their fault when it blows up though. See, they made the right choices - it was someone else somewhere in the structure that didn't come through. How dare you question their genius?

At this point, its looking like its going to be a voluntary recall unless your local government requires you to do so to re-register or pass emissions.

8ender posted:Oh man I can already feel the soft leather seats of my future bargain basement TDI hatchback. Sorry to disappoint, but the TDI only has Leatherette* and that's only on the wagen. The Golf has cloth  For real leather you gotta buy the R.355 miles out of 12.9 gallons last fill up. Not bad for AWD and 300 hp. Oh right something else odd I noticed the other day. In CO apparently a brand new gas car gets a 7 year emissions exemption, but my 4 year old TDI was supposed to have to do emissions this year.
