I think the crime of the destruction of the environment is a bit of a stretch. You think that little TDI over there with some extra NOX is going to hurt you but something 10 times as big, 10 times as common, running 10 times the mileage namly, semi trucks, you are immune from somehow? Or that a single bolt of lightning makes as much as a TDI does in a year and there are over a billion of those. The crime here was scamming the government more then anything else. They cannot let stand when technology makes their rules obsolete and makes them look the fool. The only harm to owners was better fuel economy and then after the hype of being evil, lower resale. Me I kind of want a TDI more now.
