There are too many VWs on the road that provide fuel economy to do anything except correct the software.
For a systemic issue to exist there was only one man making the decision and ordered it. The CEO.
There are many jobs at stake if this turns into a circus. Prosecute the CEO. He had to be the one person that told everyone else to look the other way.

I don't think an investigation has to conclude before filing charges against the CEO. The West has a very bad habit of allowing the tail to wag the dog. Enough of that. A CEO has to be responsible for the operation of his corporation. That means when a problem this size occurs it is considered systemic and the CEO is directly responsible.
Mr. Winterkorn needs to stand trial. Just that simple. The corporation of Board members will have to be held accountable for any fines and costs.
There is no reason for workers, unions or consumers to suffer because of the greed of one man. The software has to be repaired and the autos brought into compliance. I think this is an excellent time to look at diesel fuel and it's virtue as a fuel for vehicles.
But, to seek to investigate to the most minuscule detail only allows those leading the corporation to bury their responsibility elsewhere. Governments have to hold CEOs responsible. Just that simple. Everyone can say but the company can't do without it's genius. A genius that breaks the law is not a genius.
What I would like to know is how is all that soot and emissions going to be removed from the troposphere?

The latest from AP:
Tennessee
plans to hold hearings over whether the Volkswagen emissions scandal
could imperil the nearly $900 million in state and local incentives that
have been directed toward the German automaker's lone US plant in
Chattanooga.
Republican state
Sen. Bo Watson, who has been a vocal critic of Volkswagen's labour
policies, cited the state's "significant investment" in the Chattanooga
plant in calling for a Senate Finance Committee hearing.
"I
am very concerned as to the financial impact these violations could
present to the state of Tennessee," Watson wrote in a letter to the
panel's chairman. "Any action that threatens the stability and
sustainability of the investment should be reviewed by the finance
committee, without delay." I don't think an investigation has to conclude before filing charges against the CEO. The West has a very bad habit of allowing the tail to wag the dog. Enough of that.
