@Fat Tails what are we talking here? How old exactly is your VW bug? Mike

One of them is brand new and polished (last decade but looks like new) and the other one is a vintage car from the last millenium, but already equiped with all safety features like air bags and ABS. Otherwise I would not let my family drive them.

No bugs or beatles or that stuff. No Diesel. Diesel is a good choice, if you live on the country side. Not so good for driving through the inner cities.

I also use DriveNow, which is a car sharing service and convenient, if you need a car ASAP.

VW's new CEO under pressure as emissions scandal hits Porsche | Reuters
...Mr. Mueller, former Boss at Porsche! The other shoe in this scandal maybe falling off

Some 800 thousand further cars from the company had been sold with wrong declaration
of CO2.
The scandal affects not only the VW diesel motor - but all motors VW built. Now even NEW
models are not conform...

The company's stock (listed in the Dax 30) tumbled today 4,3%.
