I would never defend VW for the emissions scandal (although they were just the ones who were caught, far from the sole offender), but they certainly deserve praise for their ability to market good affordable vehicles to the masses.

I’m surprised that Apple couldn’t sign a deal with the Japanese or the Koreans though.
