Volkswagen Deliberately Designed Diesels To Poison Our Air & Our Lungs, Then Lied, Cheated, and Covered Up the Crime For Years
February, 2016
“In the months since it admitted it designed its diesel cars to cheat on tailpipe-emissions tests, the company has struggled with its messaging. A low point came last month when Matthias Müller, the new chief executive, visited the United States and told NPR, “We didn’t lie,” when VW clearly did. The outcry forced Mr. Müller to call NPR back and revise his statement.
The reaction to the scandal has been swift. A recent Harris Poll of Americans’ attitudes toward the 100 most visible companies ranked Volkswagen dead last.”
Consumer Reports’ rating of Which Brands Make The Best Cars? ranks Volkswagen 15th and average for Predicted Reliability.
