After VW was outed for falsifying environmental data in its cars hundreds of thousand of VW vehicles were taken off the road now sitting in storage sites. Hundreds of thousands of cars now lie in lots in the Mojave Desert, a shuttered suburban Detroit football stadium, and a former Minnesota paper mill in America alone. These vehicles are now in the open slowly breaking down with pollutants entering the environment. Is the the modern cost of corporate greed? What can we do to ensure this never happens again?

I think the red as a turning signal color is fine, if the whole tail light is used as the turning signal, and i do not see a reason why it wouldn't be. Or if the turning signal is far enough away from the tail light. I personally don't like orange turning signals. It just plain looks ugly, like a thing built from many different colored legos, but then again current cars are fugly anyway.

I know what was said and what i said. I am an engineer. If you hadn't called me clueless i might've taken your post as a joke.
The orange color does not bring any advantage other than perhaps being somewhat more visible, when the blinker and the tail light are on at the same time and close to each other. So there are options to that practicality which also look better. And i told you the options in my previous post, perhaps read them.
Like i said, personally i find it ugly. Just like the low profile tires and plasti-chrome on a car with no other chrome parts than the few pieces of trim and the badge, which also are not practical in any level.

To something like 7% of the male population and 1% of the female, red is a rather dull color. Orange is much brighter.
You are a clueless interior decorator. Or possibly a fashion designer.
