VW should be required to replace all the vehicles if the owners want it.

then crush all the vehicles bought back... making ceertain they are totally destroyed.

Another well thought out idea that makes good use of resources and is economically efficient. What's next, crush houses that need a paint
job and put them back up?

the purchsers have probably lost a bunch of resale value on these vehicles.worse if a software patch could fix it wouldnt VW have done that already rather than risk a big fine? and a software pach is used it might cause driveability problems

I don't see what any of those maybes has to do with sending the cars to
the crusher as punishment. As to why VW cheated if the cars can meet EPA
with the emissions systems turned on, speculation is that it effects MPG
and performance. It may be that more that that is involved and that
more than a software flash will be needed, but seems it would be a good
idea to figure that out before sending otherwise good cars to the crusher.
