That statement alone speaks volumes. Lots of electric car lobbyists all over the world nowadays.

VW should just cut a check for the difference of sticker between a TDI and a gas model of the same car for owners (I.E. if a Gas engine and samely equipped Golf is $22,500, but a TDI is an upcharge of $2,000, cut a check for $2,000) etc, for those who wish to keep driving their diesel after the fix is implemented.

Then for those who wish to keep them, the warranty on the the engine and emissions equipment (DPF's are spendy to replace) for 150k miles regardless of age.

For those who are so horribly wronged, offer them retail price on trade in towards a new purchase, or buy back.

Yes its going to cost a ton of money for VW but instead of letting the lawyers get billions, and the actual purchasers geting $48.06, it might be helpful for them to be proactive here.
