If it keeps you up at night then you need to really worry about something else!

An interesting article well worth a listen - the last 15mins talks about VW.
Lawyer is trying to charge them - he wants VW charged with manslaughter, even murder!

I heard this mentioned of news - how crazy is this?? So, he wants VW charged for murder or manslaughter for the deaths caused by the pollutants etc etc.
I would love to see how they can pin any deaths on VW? What next, charge individuals who own diesel cars over ten years old?? Flipping ridiculous!

Just my 2 pence worth but this has all been over hyped by the press wanting to get a good story. VW made their cars do very well in test conditions. Does anyone really expect to get the MPG's advertised? The way the tests are done need to be changed to give realistic figures for modern driving. If these cars were tested again in the same conditions they would give the same results, yes a clever bit of coding is used but in those conditions the same results will be given.
In the short term prices may be effected but to suggest VW are liable (in that link) for murder and manslaughtet is clutching at straws!! What VAG did had no effect to safety at all.
Not so long ago Toyota had some problems where 5 people actually lost their lives as a direct consequence of their actions and the fines they got were tiny in comparison to what VAG face.
It'll not do VW any good but they will recover. I can't see any development happening for a few years though

My BKD engined GTs is not part of this according to the VAG website.

Thankfully, I won't be inconvenienced by the recall.
