VW, Victory Gin and the Chestnut Tree Cafe

• By Eric Peters Eric Peters Autos

In the final pages of Orwell's 1984, we find Winston Smith – the novel's main character – drinking Victory Gin at the Chestnut Tree Cafe. He's been released by the Party after years of torture for Thought Crime but rather than hate the Party for what it did to him, Winston has come to love Big Brother.

VW, too.

After $30 billion and counting in fines and buybacks for "cheating" on government emissions certification tests, the manufacturer of people's cars has committed to building nothing but high-dollar/short range/long-recharge-time electric cars, commencing with the ID3, a Golf-sized five-door hatchback electric car just unveiled in Germany ahead of the Frankfurt Auto Show.
