    Nope, it isn´t ...
    US cars obviously have less features ...

      It's good to be King. Winterkorn could get as much as 60 million euros for quitting (though much more likely to be in the 40 million euro range).

      Heck, they should have hired me. I would have quit for 1/10th the price.

                The car's design, described as "a cross between a Volkswagen Beetle and Fred Flintstone's vehicle", was created by Jim Mariol of Cincinnati-based Design Alliance, who had worked as a designer at Chrysler starting in 1952 and engineered by Shirish Patel, Little Tikes' Vice President of Engineering and Product Engineer Jon Fawcett.[2]

                First sold in 1979 as one of the first molded-plastic toy cars sold in the United States, it was called the "world's best-selling car for much of this decade" by The New York Times in 1998, outselling the Honda Accord and Ford Taurus.[3] By 1991, the Cozy Coupe was selling 500,000 units per year, making it the top-selling model in the United States, outselling the 399,000 Accords and 299,000 Taurus vehicles sold that year.[4] By 1997, its sales of 313,000 units in the US and another 100,000 sold in the United Kingdom in 1997, would have made it the fifth-best-selling car in the US among real vehicles.[3]

                      I just read this article and if it's true it may answer this question - Why couldn't the other manufacturers figure out VW was cheating when they reversed engineered their engines?
                      It says that BMW, Diamler and GM may all have defeat devices in their diesel cars.

                      "Vauxhall chairman and Opel Ireland CEO Tim Tozer abruptly resigned from his position yesterday, citing an opportunity to, Pursue his career outside of General Motors.

                      Days earlier, journalists met with Tim where he showed, “No signs of a man about to leave his company,” according to Auto Express. Naturally, we can’t say for sure whether #Dieselgate and Tozer’s departure are directly connected, but the timing is disconcerting.

                          Now, if the Merkel government promises to get to the bottom of this and fix things, and in 3 years VW is still in existence and still installing this defeat software in their cars, then yes, we could make the sweeping conclusion that Germans are liars.
                          It looks like VW are already repeat offenders. And there seems to be no repentance.

                          Volkswagen was one of the first car companies to pay penalties for using pollution “defeat devices” after the 1970 Clean Air Act took root. In 1973, the automaker, based in what was then West Germany, told the Environmental Protection Agency that it sold around 25,000 vehicles equipped with devices that overrode the cars’ emissions control systems. Volkswagen settled with the EPA and the U.S. Justice Department in 1974, agreeing to pay $120,000 in penalties -- or $644,000 in today’s dollars -- and update future models of its cars.
                          What a shocker!
