VW has said a total of 11m diesel engines are involved in the emission's scandal.
Broken down brand-by-brand they are:
VW - 5m
Audi - 2.1m
Skoda - 1.2m
Seat - 700,000
Vans - 1.8m
This is going to get a lot worse for VW. Apart from the cost of fixing the problem, and dealing with the owners who want VW to buy their cars back, I can see a) class action lawsuits from the owners b) lawsuits from governments who have handed out subsidies for buying ostensibly clean engined cars, c) lawsuits from government agencies responsible for environmental cleanliness and safety d) class action lawsuits from people whose health may have been affected, etc. and last but not least e) class action lawsuits from investors who had their holdings in VW drop in value by half.
I hope VW has deep pockets because they are going to be bled dry before this is over.
