Volkswagen has deep pockets, rich friends and good lawyers.
There's no way they'll be spending the astronomical sums some are predicting. They will definitely lose one to three billion dollars or so, but they can take that hit and keep going.

Current TDI owners might still soldier on and may buy another if they're proven clean while still remaining economical.
New owners probably won't want to take the risk. At least not for the next three or four years.
