The cost of the car will certainly be adjusted to absorb the cost of the program. The sticker from the factory will already reflect the increase. The cost of the program will be absorbed in sales of VWs across the country, not simply within the program states. A minor adjustment to the pricing spread over thousands of vehicles will not be that apparent.

As for young or irresponsible drivers being unable to afford the second year premium, I suppose this will put VW owners where they belong - squarely in the ranks of the morally hazardous.

With hundreds of VWs vanishing, being destroyed by hit-and-run motorists, developing wiring issues leading to all consuming fires, consumer advocacy investigations, trail lawyer seminars, all contributing to a general boost to the economy, it would appear that this is an idea a politically savy State Attorney General screams for. ;-}
