From a nation that is one of the biggest polluters they will still take VW Group to the cleaners both with fines and civil actions..."oh I live next door to someone with a VW diesel and have been breathing in their exhaust fumes for years, how much can I claim?". Ultimately the company will need to shrink (potential 20billion fine versus 66billion capitalisation), people will lose their livelihoods, new model development will suffer, as will Motorsport involvement.
No one should lie or deceive, so VW group only have themselves to blame unfortunately. That said, I'd be surprised if VW are the only company to be caught out though.
