This makes a lot of sense for the woke crowd. The faster companies and car owners are ostracized, the sooner the global CO2 emission religion can be the norm.

Agreed and another reason I opted out of the class action nor will I let a dealer neuter my car.

All this "the woke crowd" and "the government is coming for drivers!" stuff is hilarious to me. I really love my car. I've been enjoying the whole ownership experience and have the zeal of the recently converted. Porsche makes awesome cars! They're almost cheap for what you get! I say this all the time to people who didn't ask me anything about it and are just trying to get past me in the coffee shop! But they're also a corporation, and if they ****ed up and/or lied to regulators—which remember they have before about something very similar!—I am glad to know there is a legal process by which they will have to pay a penalty. And even better if I get a check or two out of it. I'll probably just give that money right back to them when I upgrade. But just because I like the cars a company makes doesn't mean I owe them any leniency if they **** up. That's capitalism, baby!

Do you all really think a check is coming your way? How much? When?

There is no real answer here, it’s all speculation. Enjoy the ride...

Cheap, maybe 😀. But specifically, I was thinking of the UK and EU. You year it, 2030, yada yada.

Cayenne diesel owners got around $10K each due to the dieselgate.... I don't think this is anything like that, but it’s not like it’s never happened.

Was this for diesel owners who choose to opt-out of the buy back and kept their vehicle? ..."between $5100 and $10,000 to compensate for diminished resale value, plus a free emissions fix"

Used OR new it seems . Just more speculations if and A BIG IF... this turns out with similar outcome as the dieselgate, buy back was pretty close to MSRP regardless of miles!
I know a few owners personally that went through this and chose the buy back. They remained with the brand however, and upgraded.

Check out the fact sheet link in this page for Porsche diesel...
