Congressman like publicity, their hearings are for show more than for go. Reginos if you think the EPA hatched this as part of a conspiracy to reduce Germany into being a nation of just lowly beet farmers you are nuts.

This is the impression of many of people outside the USA and across many countries.

What VW did was a serious irregularity but the way it was presented by the USA authorities was grossly exaggerated as if it was a kind of plague that would wipe off millions. The out of proportion treatment of this comparatively limited source of emissions made people around the world very suspicious about the true intentions.

Moreover, because of the constant intervention/interference of US agencies and authorities in all sorts of matters in foreign countries the USA has lost any "good testimony from those who are outside" (to use a Bible term) and this magnifies the disbelief about the genuine motives behind the VW test.
