Vw emisson situtation has thrown up some interesting dilemas in uk. As our vehicle tax bands are linked to emissions. This effects company car tax and tax bandings. Thus uk gov is losing millions of pounds. In europe the manufacturer is lible for all losses how incured by their own negilance. Company car drivers could beforced to buy a new car to stay in same tax bracket. Also they where going to invest millions of pounds in developing a cutting edge formula 1 engine. In simple terms they have dropped one hell of a lead balloon as well as shoot themselves in own foot. Customers are so fickle about this so won't buy a vw even though it is only the 2.0 diesel at fault.
