    Losing $15+ billion in value over one day while budgeting $7.2 for planned fines, plus whatever the recall is going to cost. That's going to sting a little.

      $18 billion potential for US fines ... then add the recall, lawsuits, any international fines, etc. Fwiw I glanced and you were correct - it's 20% state owned.

      Most people I talk to have nothing but good things to say about you, but you sure come across as a condescending prick. Do you have an inferiority complex you've attempted to overcome through overachievement? Or were you fondled as a child?

      You and slow99 should date. You both have passive aggressiveness down pat.

        I'm not sure it's going to sting all that much.

        VW made $28.6 billion profit on $254 billion in revenues in 2012, and its assets were worth $408 billion

          Their market cap dropped 29%, 21.5 Bln Euro ($24 Bln USD), in 2 days. Yeah it stung.

              I really couldn't care less. The EPA is a bunch of fucking crooks and the government is only after money. When are they going to fine themselves for fucking up that river in Colorado? It isn't like this $18 billion is going to be spent on actually cleaning the fucking air.

                  GM also didn't have recalls when it was government motors but as soon as they bought their way clear..bam. Recalls.

                  Government doesn't want anyone to actually succeed, maybe just not suck as much as others do.

                    With how the Clean Power Plan is going to fuck the coal industry and force big changes in the entire remainder of the power industry I don't think we can take any more "air cleaning" for a while.

                    The EPA is a joke. High level there are some good ideas... in practice they might as well be TSA.

                        There is no need to clean it up. The water is now as clean as the wind driven snow and they are recommending that babies around the country be given it to drink. BUT..... If a private company had caused the spill the EPA would be calling for a public execution of the companies officers and would be claiming that the environmental damage to the water shed was incalculable.

                              I think it's fucking hilarious. The federal Government shouldn't have any business in regulating products. Leave that to the states. If California wants stupid ass emissions, so be it. No one will make them cars.
