VW Diesel Emissions News -- Breyer Sets March 24 Deadline

I would be very surprised if the Software Update doesn't majorly impact performance and fuel economy. If you see how the current setup works and imagine the scrubber being turned on now during hard acceleration I think it will be hard to see an update that doesn't substantially hinder performance. The fact is thou that the updated TDI is STILL going to be far superior in MPG and Torque to any other engine in the Q's line so while it's worse than current it's still the best out there. Given the big change thou (expect 5%+ if I had to guess) I'd expect the judge may require Audi/VW/Porsche to allow us to turn our vehicles back in for market value pre-scandal plus a bonus sort of like the 2L engines. It's NOT a buy-back thou. It's a turn in option
I WISH they would have just allowed those of us who want new cars to trade our vehicles in for another Audi/Porsche/VW and get preferential trade in values (vs being plagued by the scandal) as I'd definitely have jumped on that option

This is the 3rd VAG I've had a major fraud issue with so despite previously being a lifelong Porschefile I'm done with them. Each prior time it has cost me money so this time they will pay.

Ah-ha! I am much relieved to report that a "status briefing" is scheduled for 5/19, so my gears aren't slipping as much as I feared. Allegedly, an update to the 3.0 liter discussions will be aired.
