Well, I'm against class action lawsuits as much as the next guy, I have never had a lawsuit and I can't foresee ever having one, and as I personally would never participate in a lawsuit over windshield reflection I think they may have a case, I can see how it would make the car undriveable for some folks. Can you imagine purchasing a expensive brand new car you can't drive. As I've said the reflection in my car is really really bad. In fact when I was reading about the reflection case I read the judge refused to throw the case out because he said the owner of beige dashboards have a bonafide lawsuit. I'm not taking sides I'm just posting what I've read on the internet.

Yes I did drive it first, its a 10 year old car and I would have been remiss if I had not taken its condition very seriously. I have driven it several times since, but only when I took it for a 6 hour drive did I realize how bad the reflection is.

I'm happy with my car, I'm not going to allow this issue to ruin the joy I have found in my car, but had I know of there being a reflection issue I would have looked for a black dash.

I've never worn sunglasses. When I grew up many moon ago it wasn't popular to wear sunglasses. I'm going to give sunglasses a try first time the sun pops out. It's been raining today but I'm anxious to see how much sun glasses help the issue.

Also I read somewhere that Porsche had used the “didn’t you drive it first” defense, and the purchaser said he had driven a new 2015 car just like the one he purchased, but the car they give him to try out had a black dash. His point was Porsche knew of the problem for years before he purchased his car and they didn’t inform him of the issue. He couldn’t make an informed decision of an issue he had no knowledge of. And they may have hid the issue giving him a driver with a black dash.

I have no dog in this fight, I don't care about a lawsuit one way or another, its not going to affect me, my reason for posting about a lawsuit was my trying to say looky here, there are others having the same issue with windshield reflection.
