    Not only that, a lot of the board ended up in prison, which didn’t happen for the other automakers that also had illegally high emissions (all of them).

    VW was pretty much the only automaker who got held accountable for their crimes, and took the wrap for everyone both in terms of the law and public opinion.

    Some others broke emissions standards by a much greater amount (cough, FIAT-Chrysler cough Toyota cough Hyundai/KIA).
