US Global Defamation Campaign Against Volkswagen (R German Push-Overs?)

[...] Note that the Europeans saw it coming: Already in 1967, long before the information age, the Frenchman J. J. Servan-Schreiber wrote ‘Le defi americain” in which he warned Europe of total US dominance in all financial, industrial, and technological spheres. In 1990, the German political adviser Konrad Seitz published a book with the doomy subtitled: “Germany’s high-technology industries battle for survival”. He was right. And it got worse.

Nazikeule: US pillories Germany's Volkswagen

"Journalists all want to know that a manipulative soft-ware was installed to artificially keep the fume spew low during check-ups and under laboratory conditions. Meanwhile, into the wild, the ambitious car models, the Passat and the Jetta, allegedly fired five to thirty times (!) more nasty particles into America’s airspace than the user manual promised. Make that forty times more, if you are The Economist magazine."
