    The company’s move is one of the first and clearest examples of automakers using price increases to deal with the 25 percent tariffs President Trump imposed on car and auto parts imports.

      Maybe fewer people will buy VW garbage then.

      American cars are better than VW, and I refuse to buy them too.

          Given what VW did with their emissions tests, I can’t say he’s wrong.

              Didn’t they get caught red handed? I don’t remember the details well. But at this point yeah, it’d be easier to get a list of companies that weren’t cheating.
