These guys and gals know what they are doing. As a business person I really admire their growth from a niche enthusiast player in the 80s to an amazing global brand today. Its incredibly hard to do what they have done and it isn't luck. So, send the poll results. They are already off working on their next decision.

Of course they could be wrong. VW is the biggest car company in the world in cars sold and they thought that it would be cheaper to have their vehicles deceive emission tests than to buy Mercedes technology or develop their own. They just gave me a 1000 dollars for the mistake and I am sure they will giving me and the government much more.
