ins1dious Turbocharged September 22, 2015 Share September 22, 2015 (edited) Then what ? To be acquired by SAIC ? haha... Tim and Co. at Apple are gleefully rubbing their hands and wondering if they could just buy VW group and spend some of that $200b they have parked outside the US. Locks well with their reported plans of an Apple car in 2019. But whether AAPL or SAIC... neither can touch VW... because there is a law in Germany called the VW Law. If you haven't before... read about how Porsche tried to take over VW using options but ended up getting acquired themselves when they ran out of money and had to be bailed out by VW.

Wishcumstrue 6th Gear September 22, 2015 Share September 22, 2015 Now that's being dishonest isn't it? Not that it matters but the chart you used in your post claiming the drop was 30% was for 21st September intra-day movement alone. Not really material to the discussion but hey whatever makes you happy ;) I supposed you had missed my earlier statment on being corrected. As a matter of fact, the VW stock value IS very much depend on the reputation of the coy itself, both in terms of $ and common sense. So this isn't a question of market price being immaterial to the discussion. As whether or not I had been "dishonest" or not, it is NOT up to you to past judgement on my integrity in a forum.

This isn't about underdeclaring having different standards. Yap there is 2 points here... One is lab test vs real-world conditions...which has been a known issue for many cars in EU... Two is that brands are known to program such that it direct all its power to enhance results in lab test criteria... which is also a understatement across the industries from car to cpu to smartphone benchmarks... Didnt seem VW is any difference.. maybe they are just being too forthright now ironically... Edited September 22, 2015 by danzo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyke Supercharged September 22, 2015 Share September 22, 2015 "Exposed to sunlight, nitrogen oxides convert to ozone—making smog. How much depends on a bunch of variables, like sunlight exposure and what happens to the hydrocarbon emissions (the uncombusted fuel), plus the temperature and local winds. However much extra crap came from the VWs, it won’t be good. Exposure to nitrogen oxide and ozone is linked to increased asthma attacks, respiratory illnesses, and in some cases premature death. Ozone also worsens existing cardiovascular and lung disease." ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
