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.
