Something like this likely went all the way to the top. If not, he was incompetent anyway for not knowing. What's the over-under on Mr. Winterkorn's tenure at VW?

What a pitty...vws were such good cars up until the 2000s.
Newer ones have gone under cost cuts and emission restrains and its just too much work to keep the ever tighter emission standards and costs.
I think electric is coming sooner than we think.
If i could afford a Tesla i'd buy one NOW.
