Our RIV survey results - 65 votes - 79% unsatisfied

The RIV continues to change the VAFUS lists without regard to consumers.  BMW, MB, Volvo are all off the list. Members on this website and on Edmunds forums are extremely disatisfied.  Many want action.  The matter is getting worse week afer week - so CWB is prepared to assist at putting together a team of volunteers to go after the RIV/TC.  We will have to apply pressure like we’ve never done before.  If you have courage, determination and like teamwork please join the team.  Send an email to Bob or Serge

EcoAuto rebates - time for action

We are unable to find the truth about the ecoAuto refunds - but then again they are not saying anything so no one is not not-telling the truth. 

Here is my e-mail to the Assistant Deputy Minister.  If you would be entitled to an eco-Auto refund, please register your case on the site - we will use the names from the site to support our position.  If there is no action, CWB will escalate.

 E-Mail to ADM - ecoAuto refunds

Are you entitled to the rebate? - check out over 30 models at TC’s site

Member from Slovakia compares Canada-US-Europe prices

Tag: ConsumersCWB @ 6:49 pm

Our website attracts visitors from 50 countries.  One member from Slovakia who may be moving to Canada was very interested in our rules but not impressed.  See his e-mail attached as he gives us his insights from Europe.  He has asked that I keep his name confidential. 

Not surprising Cars in Canada are the most expensive
