VW cars exceed legal emissions 40 times. There is a reason for no preventing to use this cars?
I don't think the government can say "you were lied to about your car, stop using it" also VW can't force people to get the recall, why would you want to get a recall that worsens the performance of you car.

#13I don't buy the implication that this didn't go up extremely high in VW. I'm sure they'll find some low level drone(s) to take the fall like normal, but generally speaking if they were engineering and building cars which they KNEW couldn't pass emmissions it had to have been a concerted effort to cheat the system inter-departmentally, which means coordination, which means senior management involvement.
The CEO has already been fired, but for something this big it won't just be the low-level types that get fired.

What's worse is that VW is still pushing the narrative that only two engineers are at fault here, and it refuses to blame the CEO, even though it keeps finding millions and millions of other cars affected by this.

He resigned, with a potential €60 million payout coming his way. More than firing is due here - people should be going to jail for criminal fraud.
How about they prove criminal fraud before we talk about locking people up?
