Containing the Cheating Software which made the car look like it was less polluting than it really was this case potentially means at least 70000 others could also ask for at least some of their money back because i was question before we didnt but its a pity that of all the companies it was bokes wagon which committed the fraud v. W. Could have had it easy or hard they admitted this from the outset and said we cheated we are sorry and we will compensate the affected owners with no questions asked that certainly would have not damage their image quite the contrary. The fraud was on an industrial scale some 11000000. 00 cars fitted with a cheating device was an astonishing revelation inside a company which prides itself on its environmental advances and inside germany a country which sees itself as leading the way against Climate Change hugely embarrassing. This ruling means v. W. Has to offer to buy back cars its sold based on their current mileage arguably less damaging to the countrys finances than to its reputation they have of course and to pekin but for the problems they caused in paris and they paid a lot of their money our of and now i feel they only situation to look more into the future because she is a very important turn company and a lot of employees in germany yet we need that w.
