I posted on this on the Entertainment forum a while ago and nobody responded, so maybe I should have posted it here. In fact, there was related arrest just last week: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-volkswagen-emissions-stadler/head-of-vws-audi-arrested-in-germany-over-diesel-scandal-idUSKBN1JE0R3

Thoughts from the Automotive regulars?

---------

I watched the first episode of the Netflix series Dirty Money about the Volkswagen emissions cheating scandal and thought it was well done and very interesting. I was only vaguely aware of what VW had done. Some of it was jaw-dropping. They not only cheated, they lied, doubled-down on their cheating, lied some more, and six executives went to prison.

It's still pretty fresh. Some of the documented events happened less than a year ago.

I do wonder if the video of monkeys gasping for breath inside a glass box while being fed diesel exhaust was real or a re-enactment...

And their CEO is evading American criminal law by sitting in Europe where he knows they would never extradite...

Just watched it... meh

Interesting story with how Vdub cheated, but the presentation was way too dramatic. I had flashbacks to acid rain and clear cutting the rainforests doom and gloom when I was growing up.

The monkey part was obviously a reenactment.

I drove from Colorado Springs to Pueblo the other week and just south of Colorado Springs is an old race track that is a dumping ground for VW's and some Audi's that were returned to the dealers or never sold. A couple of thousand cars.
