VW Deisel
Thank goodness that no class B's (to my knowledge) use the VW diesel platform! Hopefully, as well, that Mercedes hasn't been playing any dirty tricks with the Sprinter's emissions.:S

I think I'll wait a few more months and pick up a great deal on a new VW diesel. Good cars, great mileage. They'll fix the software and everything will be good. Reputation may take a while to fix though.
I guess we'll have to wait and see.
(But a lot less than the $37,500 fine per vehicle that the EPA could assess for non-compliance!)
Again, pure speculation, but I'm sure all will be revealed eventually.
