dranners's review against another edition
5.0
The lengths Volkswagen leadership went to to feign ignorance is astounding. A very interesting read with great history of the Volkswagen and Porsche beginnings. I would love to read a follow up when diesel becomes obsolete because Musk has built hyper loops everywhere and only electric cars are in demand.

Not bad, gives a nice over view history of the actions which left to the Volkswagen scandal. Probably not the book for me, since a least a third is devoted to the history of Volkswagen, and I'm more interested in the politics than the cars.
This is more of a broad overview rather than any major investigative piece, in my opinion. They even say near the end that "It is not yet clear what the ultimate consequences for Volkswagen will be." The issue is still ongoing, and this is more to whet your appetite.
There is some repetition in the book. I'm pretty sure they described four different times the role that Nitrogen Oxide has in the role of smog creation.
