Fact that VW have tricked out their Cars to pass emission tests does not mean?

The fact that VW have tricked out their Cars to pass emission tests does not mean? - 1

Added (1). That EVERYBODY else is doing it too (as if they would)

Added (2). Volkswagen emissions were found to be 40 TIMES higher than US Law demands LOL
Naturally, Toyota would never consider doing such a thing

Added (3). I can practically guarantee that Toyota and Honda have been tricking their TDI Cars for years LOL

Added (4). *I'm NOT talking about Emissions as a whole I'm commentating on VWs deception

Added (5). *Sherlock: Exactly. It's going to need a recall of over 500,000 cars at least plus courtesy cars supplied. Possibly even replacement engines… And the cost will be astronomical!

Typical Germans.

They wouldn't? You have more faith in them than I do. But of course, they might of considered it, but I doubt they All did it.

Why all the fuss? It's a drop in the ocean, compared to the pollution pumped out by aircraft, and factories world wide, every hour of the day.

Since engineers and managers move from company to company, there's a reasonable chance this has gone on in other companies. There's less chance it has gone on in US companies where the government and regulators are not as weak and toothless as the EU.

There's a good chance this is something pretty big where an awful lot of cars will have to be recalled to have their engine systems re-programmed, which will reduce the performance the customer paid for, meaning they have an argument for compensation or even a refund.

They definitely shouldn't have done it, it was incredibly stupid to do.

But in terms of the actual environmental impact i'm not really worried. A single cruise ship causes as much emissions as 5 million cars, yet hardly anyone cares about that.

How to destroy a company. The Germans really are loosing the plot lately. Germany is a country that depends heavily on exports. The effect of this on their foreign markets in general could be immense. Does this affect AUDI too?

Ohh YES it does…
