Florida Dealership Becomes the First To Sue Volkswagen For DieselGate Losses

The Napleton Dealer Group sounds quite litigious, so despite VW's obvious problems, perhaps they don't have all that much credibility in leading this suit. Could they be termed a 'nuisance plaintiff'?

"...The lawsuit marks the second time in four months that an automaker has been sued by Napleton dealerships.

In January, two Napleton-owned Fiat Chrysler dealerships sued FCA US, alleging among other things that the automaker incentivized certain dealers to report false sales. The January lawsuit was never served on FCA and was amended in March to add five other Napleton-owned dealerships as plaintiffs.

In late March, FCA called the Napleton suit “baseless” and an “attempt to smear” FCA in seeking to formally dismiss the case.

In 2014, Napleton also filed suit against Jaguar Land Rover after the British automaker exercised its right of first refusal to block the sale of five of its dealerships on Long Island to Napleton.

1 dealer, 2 dealers, 3 dealers more...after a while you have all the dealers suing! The flushing sound you hear is VW cash leaving the company. Time to up the reserve by another $10 billion Hans!

VW defrauded dealers by knowingly and with malice producing illegal vehicles for them to sell. I say let the feeding frenzy begin.

So, Bob, to recap, you went back 40 years for that? At least as a dummy, you have a site you can go to.

Clearly you sell VWs but no other dealership will hire you.
