Good read, a bit "legal" and difficult to translate into English but quite interesting.

Making a case that the VW was negligent by putting the engine in the back, to me is like saying Harley is negligent for not protecting you on a motorcycle or the Mini is negligent for being small.

Goes to show lawyers well make a case against anybody at anytime, about anything so long as it makes CASH.

Their claim that VW changed the design to front engine Eurovan because they "knew" the rear engine was unsafe displays this in spades. What about the 911, or Boxster, or any other mid engine sports car like the Ferr, or Lamb, Maz all with mid engine, hey thats unsafe and they should be sued for it.

What about "pusher" motorhomes? Greyhound busses.
