"Since the Volkswagen 'Dieselgate' emissions cheating scandal broke in September 2015, nearly every major automaker including--Daimler, General Motors, Suzuki and Mitsubishi have all been caught up in falsifying fuel economy figures or cheating on emissions testing." I am not justifying VW's actions, but it's pretty obvious to any critical reader of news articles that VW was just the unlucky one whose head met the chopping block -- so in terms of a single targeted boycott of VW as a consumer, I don't think it makes sense. They still make great cars, despite some bad apples that work there (every company has them -- also see Lenovo / SuperFish).
