I don't understand the moral equivalency that you are implying there exists between US gas prices etc and VW providing fabricated statistics.
My point is that the EU and Germany failed to uncover this.
Also Germany and France have both in the past chosen to ignore the rules of the EU/Euro club without sanction.
That it is far easier for the EU regulators to pick on one of the small fry countries and make negative findings is my argument.
- allendoerfer 10y agoVW cheated, but the bigger moral problem and the underlying topic is not the cheating but the pollution that was hidden by it. And suggesting that VW is polluting more than US brands is just nuts. Edit: Just wanted to make clear, that of course the cheating should have totally been caught in Europe earlier. The thought that the US is not biased with its domestic brands just made me chuckle.

So we can all agree, that governments favouring their big domestic companies is not just an EU thing. You criticized the EU for going after Apple and not VW, I made clear that the US is going after VW and not GM.
