Something like half the sales are in China. They don't sell a diesel there. Across the rest of the world sales are way down. They would be way ahead of Toyota

Something like half the sales are in China. They don't sell a diesel there. Across the rest of the world sales are way down.
They would be way ahead of Toyota if they didn't cheat.
The other thing to remember is that cars are engineered a few years out. It will be a while before they compromise quality to make up for the large fines.
Cheating doesn't mean you win.
