Here's a few of the almost 300,000 cars Volkswagen has recalled. They're on the hook for about $25 Billion in claims. Will they survive? Should they survive? These Volkswagens are rotting in the desert near Victorville, CA.

It sucks. One of my friends had one of those cars and she loved it. Got great gas mileage too.

They will do one of two things, wait for the EPA to admit its testing routine was flawed and sell them, or ship them overseas to places that dont care, like the rest of the world.
What doesn't deserve to survive is an agency that can't come up with a realistic test routine and targets. But when you are a public sector agency, you hire from the bottom of the barrel because they're the only ones dumb enough to want to try to live in DC.
The whole thing reeks of corruption. The claim is that a software "cheat" broke the rules. And now we are supposed to believe that they can't program that out? That's absurd. The reality of it is, they're trying to push these cars out of the market.
