BREAKING! Audi's CEO ARRESTED Over Dieselgate Scandal — Who's NEXT?

The head of Volkswagen's luxury arm Audi was arrested on Monday, the most senior company official so far to be taken into custody over the German carmaker's emissions test cheating scandal.

Munich prosecutors said Rupert Stadler was being detained due to fears he might hinder an ongoing investigation into the scandal, plunging Volkswagen (VW) into a leadership crisis.

News of the arrest comes as VW's new group CEO Herbert Diess is trying to introduce a new leadership structure, which includes Stadler, and speed up the group's shift towards electric vehicles in the wake of its emissions scandal.

Oof!

So true though.

However, I do like the Q8. I know I am a rare bird in these parts...

Audi needs to pull a Donald Trump and create a parallel (but better) scandal to distract from Dieselgate.

People have short memories - maybe they can pay off some inattentive suburban drivers to hit the gas instead of the brake and accelerate thru their garage walls, into their swimming pools?

Unintended acceleration is a victimless scandal. It would be kinda nice to roll the calendar back to 1982 anyway!
