Re: VW caught cheating emissions tests
Whoopsy:This will be the ironic case of American justice.
GM's ignition switch faults actually killed people, Toyota's death pedal also killed people, but both got off light.
VW's emission is a harmless infraction but they will be penalized greatly.
USA is such a screwed up country.
Well VW seems to have intentionally circumvented laws on a large scale in order to sell their products so I would argue that it's pretty serious. I doubt they will face $18 billion in fines (unless a jury decides it, then it could be in the trillions ). As it is, they have screwed their workers and shareholders pretty hard already, and have some serious brand damage as well.
