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?

Anyone can make an omelet with eggs. The trick is to make one with none.

Don't EVEN try blaming the bad ol' gubermint for this one. The facts don't support you. Those cars could be re-flashed and become street legal today. If they had a urea system on them, they could have all the performance they were advertised to have and meet standards just fine.
Government DID keep out of the engineering and said instead, just do whatever you want as long as you meet the standards, and here we have the result. The engineers knew what to do, but management decided to take a different more criminal approach.
Shame on you!
