require vw to buy back every single vehicle and crush them, then pay the 37K fine, sending some corporate big wigs to the slammer would be helpful too.

prohibiting vw from selling any new vehicles in the US for say 5 years would round out their punishment

And once again, since you keep posting this, being a lib, are you OK
with screwing the hundreds of thousands, probably millions of employees
that had nothing to do with the cheating? OK with the unemployment
claims govts will have to pay? OK with the bankruptcies of VW dealers,
the effect that will have on their creditors, loss of jobs for their
employees, etc?


Exactly!

And it's the norm, not the exception, for companies exaggerate to their product performance specs. Yawn!

If we go after VW, by rights we have to prosecute the other Fortune 499.


This isn't just puffery and exaggeration of performance. The legal
limit was 0.04 gram per mile. These vehicles emitted roughly 25 times
that amount. I've done the math, you can too. Over a 100,000 km
lifetime of 10 million vehicles that adds up to an ADDITIONAL 2+
BILLION pounds of pollution spewed into the air.
