Again, this is one of the issues that VW Group completely ignores when doing business in the US. Here, driving (for enthusiasts, anyway) is all about passion, and speed, and memories, which are prioritized over things like efficiency or mechanical precision.

Love me some Kelly’s Heroes.

This needs more stars.

The crux of the issue is this: VW management still doesn’t believe they did anything wrong. Sure, they broke the rules, but in their eyes they did what they had to do and it’s a technicality. I used to work for a large European-owned tool company, and the mindset is similar. If something is wrong over here, it’s our
