Well in my bubble, people were pissed that German/EU regulators did so little in the VW case and were glad that at least the US did something there.
Of course there was some monetary incentive behind it (Hoping that you could get some money out of the case for your VW, too) but generally there really wasn't any "The US just wants to get money from german car makers" sentiment.
