If Volkswagen is so conscientious, why did they cheat on the diesels?
The new model is also meant as Volkswagens exhibit A in its argument that it has left its dirty diesel past behind it, having learned its lessons from the 2015 diesel emissions cheating scandal that tarnished its image and cost the company around $30 billion in fines, penalties and consumer compensation.
And bubbling up from the mud in Germany is Dieselgate jr.! More cheating on the reprogrammed VW diesels!!!
