Based on ICCT data, every other carmaker has more to fear on the CO2 problem than VW.
I think it is more than likely VW group customers will be looked after, because they have the ability to sue at least under consumer law for compensation if they are not (ACCC implied as much since it is looking at remedies). Anyone selling their VW group vehicle before compensation is taking a loss they probably don't need to.
I guess that begs the question - if someone takes a loss selling their vehicle, can they still sue VW for that monetary loss if they no longer own a vehicle whose new owner will be compensated?? (maybe) Or will compensation only apply to original owners? (probably) and later owners just get their cars fixed without further compensation? (since they knew about the issue before they bought in)
