    This thread is about Diesel Cheat....not EVs....there are umpteen
    threads about EVs generally and Tesla specifically which those
    with diesel vehicles that have/have had the Diesel Cheat are not likely
    to be interested in the marketing woes of Tesla

    IMO many of the Toyota impacted vehicles are 2nd owners who
    would not have likely bought had they known of the Cheat because
    now it means the added expanse and inconvenience of AddBlue on
    Toyota rectifies the problem. At leat that is what VW did.

    IMO the class action will be interesting. Will Toyota have to pay
    owners more than VW in compensation or will Toyota draw this
    out for years to minimise costs?

    The question is: If you were given the choice of two identical
    vehicles, one AddBlue & the other no AddBlue.....how much extra
    would you pay for the latter...........and how much does the Diesel Cheat devalue
    the vehicles concerned?

    IMO for a 2017 Fortuner/Pardo...about $5K
