Folks traded them in knowing the deal, no guns to heads. 700k NEW cars sold as a result plus improved mpg stats for the country.

But you cant tell me that car in 1.5 minutes under load makes more pollution than the other 250,000 miles @ < 18mpg.

Lot of emotional comments, I'm not grieving over the oversized hardware, I kinda enjoyed the video just for it's destructive flair. Was all very contained though, there must have been some more interesting results in the processing of 700k cars.
