By the time that the EPA gets their fine, the state AG’s get their loot, and the lawyers in the US do a class-action episode....that’s probably in the range of 30-billion. Then the Europe and Asia episodes will occur. In the end, figure a grand total of fifty to sixty billion that it will cost to make people happy.

I see 2015 VW TDI sedans in my neighborhood and think: that car probably cost $35K... now what is it worth?

All owners of these cars have to have a class-action suit ready for submission. What is that going to cost VW?

So here's the question. Will VW be able to absorb all these fines and lawsuits, or will this drive them into bankruptcy?

At some point if the extortion becomes too much, won’t it be better for VW to simply abandon the US and refuse to pay tribute?

Then VW goes bankrupt and nobody gets anything.

Emission standards are stupid. The left now whines about CO2 but the catalytic converter changes CO to CO2 and was mandated by the liberal tyrants.
