"If it is determined the new issue is a second defeat device, that would call into question recent assertions by top VW executives that responsibility for the cheating scheme lay with a handful of rogue software developers who wrote the original code installed with the company's diesel engines starting with the 2009 model year.

The separate device included in the redesigned 2016 cars would appear to suggest a multi-year effort by the company to influence U.S. emissions tests that continued even after regulators began pressing the company last year about irregularities with the emissions produced by the older cars."

I seriously can not believe they are blaming this on "rogue software developers".
 
Seriously. Expect us to believe the ECU/coder guys knew cars would fail emissions? By themselves? No feedback from the emission testers?

Its' either the EPA's fault because they stopped something, or it's the EPA's fault because they didn't stop something. All of it has nothing to do with the EPA, and everything to do with the fact that pollution doesn't exist, it's all a conspiracy by the liberal media, some minorities, and some weather balloons. The EPA is just there because they hate our freedoms? And stuff?

So you say pollution doesn't exist?

Would you care to take a sip from a cup full of dioxins? I'll add any flavoring that you wish. After all, it's not a pollutant right?
