It is criminal, and I don't mean the software issue.

Considering how much energy was used to make all those cars, the leather, vinyls, tires, wheels, all a waste since recycling or any sales would impact production and is not part of any business plan.

I still don't understand if it was a software issue, why couldn't the software be changed (or hardware)?

One year in the desert, or even a few months with the windows rolled up, exposed paints/trim will all be weathered and aged, interiors shot.

Whoever is responsible should be jailed for a long time. Ethics should mean something.

Agreed.

But they don't pollute so badly they shouldn't be used. Issue a waiver and let VW sell them to local governments for a small sum. That would be a win/win, somewhat similar to what Honda did with 3-wheeled ATV's.

Give them to illegal immigrants if they agree to drive them home.

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy

Park the Audis along the streets of LA or Portland, no-cost housing and better than tarps.

Sell them low cost to China. Not like they really care much about pollution.

Have a 300,000 car demolition derby, $100 buy-in per driver, proceeds go to the Clinton Foundation.

Give the cars to illegals who wish to leave the country. They can sell the car in their home country to some rich person, live high on the hog.

Put up a Max Screen and have the world's most humongous drive-in movie.

Build pyramids out of them to rival the old-fashioned ones in Egypt.

Sell them to Tesla with a "steers great!" guarantee.

Move them all to Arizona and park them behind the 300 locomotives. In a thousand years, archeologists will dig it all up and wonder what the hell. . .
