$VWAGY Volkswagen dealers file lawsuits against Scout Motors plans, WSJ says
After Volkswagen revealed it would create a new brand called Scout Motors, many Volkswagen dealers prepared for the new vehicles, hoping this built in the U.S. brand would incentivize consumers, Christopher Otts of The Wall Street Journal reports. Volkswagen, however, had different plans for Scout, and instead intends to sell its trucks and SUVs directly to customers. Scout's plans have drawn several lawsuits, with the most recent seeking class-action status. Dealers hope to force Scout to rethink its model before a vehicle rolls off the line in early 2028.
