Volkswagen Faces Tough Times

I had to laugh at a news item this morning.  According to this report, delivered by a well-dressed woman with a completely straight face, “(As a result of VW’s criminality) its 2016 cars won’t be able to pass the EPA’s emissions requirements, and this could hamper new car sales.”

Seriously?  Yes, that could be a factor.  But it’s hardly in the same ballpark as this one: the world thoroughly detests Volkswagen.  There will be people lining the streets cheering as a whole bunch of these people are led off to prison.  The company doesn’t have a customer base; it has a base of infuriated ex-customers who, like me, wouldn’t take home another VW if it were given to us free, and are going to be suing the living crap out of the company. Just a guess, but I’d say this is going to act as a significant obstacle to new car sales.
