Don't forget the diesel cheat devices designed by VAG to pass emissions only during testing.

That decimated the diesel car industry for all manufacturers and caused a lot of people to pay a lot more "environmental" taxes for their diesel cars ever since, despite governments encouraging ownership of Diesels in the 90s and Naughties because of their greater economy.

I actually joined a class action suit against them and got some settlement money out of it after buying one of those 🙃
