Given the current Dieselgate situation and how it is being handled both by VW and CARB/EPA, not likely to buy another VW. Most likely switch to another brand as long as they sell diesel vehicles. see full Volkswagen Touareg review |

I originally bought the Lexus for its reputation and resale value. With everything going on with the Camry and other Toyota models as far as recalls, I thought it better to sell it now before the resale value plummets and it has no value. see full Lexus ES review |
