I am pretty disappointed and disgusted in what VW did in this case if true.

“I am pretty disappointed and disgusted in what VW did in this case if true.”

Same here...they (apparently) CHEATED to gain a competitive advantage, hurting employees and shareholders of other companies. I expect this to make the so-called Toyota acceleration ‘issue’ look like a walk in the park.

This is more like the Pinto gas tank controversy, where Ford calculated that the $2.00 or so per vehicle they saved by not fixing the vehicles was worth the half dozen deaths per year. And, in fact, what Ford did is more defensible than this - because these trades are always made, they just don’t get as stark as what happened here.
