Two full months after VW’s little diesel difficulties and time to see if buyers care. Two months should be enough for a reduction in orders to filter through and a lack of metal moving off the showroom floor to show up.
What do we find? Well, in France we find:
“ventes stables de VW en novembre”
or unchanged sales in November.
Specifically, the Golf, Touran and Tiguan are down and the (almost entirely diesel) Passat and Polo are up. Overall sales are hardly changed since November 2014.
So there we have it. On this very limited evidence VW buyers in one part of Europe appear not at all concerned about NOx. It’ll be interesting to see what happens elsewhere.

I know in the US sales were actually UP last month, albeit largely due to incentives.

Give me enough of an incentive, and I would buy one and just gamble that the fix would not make the car suck. And I have no interest in VW.

Interestingly, the article I read suggests that VW France actually sold fewer “demo” cars in 2015 than in 2014 so more actual sales.

European buyers don’t have any choice. Diesel fuel is cheaper than gas in Europe and are considered mainstream. vs they are considered a niche for passenger cars

We do have a choice. Makers other than VW sell diesels too.......the point is that people aren’t turning away from VW in favour of other companies.
