We did look at the Chevy Cruze with the oil burner but the price difference between it and the VW was a shock, so we got the VW.

The "fix" is to be submitted to the EPA & CARB on Nov. 11th and they have 45 days to approve it. If they do approve, all of the brand new V-dubs will not only get the fix, but a nearly ridiculous warranty and a big price drop over MSRP. My dealer is thinking in the 8-10k range for a price break.

Even with all that's happened with the Dieselgate mess, I'd buy another VW.

We also gave a '13 Ford Flex SEL AWD non-turbo that I daily drive and couldn't be happier with. Lots of room, stout, pull 5k lbs. Gets low 20's for mileage but it only goes 10 miles round trip a day for me to work & back.

The Flex has been a nice enough car overall that I'll probably never go back to GM as the fit & finish of the Ford is, IMO, as good as GM.

Will VW be coming out with a new line of Diesels in 2017?
