Volkswagen, amidst all the fuss

Volkswagen, amidst all the fuss
Threw engineers under the bus.
With feet to the fire,
And feeling our ire,
Execs said, "It's them and not us!"

  1. It wasn't the execs or the engineers. True story: it was the leprechauns. All auto makers have them, but the German ones are uppity.

  3. Yes, The generals never are at fault. It is always the middle rank or privates who managed to survive the disasters are at fault.

  4. I thought it was gremlins that screwed up machinery.

  5. And in 2006 what it is verified that management undeniably confirmed they know about the fraud...
    Then made more just like it... For 9 more years...

  6. Obviously not the best,
    Trying to cheat on the test.
    Fines will take a toll,
    So heads will now roll:
    Management offers the rest...

  7. Apparently the TDI models didn't have all the "bugs" worked out of them...

  8. It seems that nobody knows
    O'er how far VW's emissions scam goes
    When grilled was the CEO
    He blamed an engineer tr-i-o
    While more makers did likewise, it shows

  9. It may be that the limits that had to be reached made them all crazy and time forced a big boo boo.
