Toyotas cost nothing compared to Porches, so 1-0 Japan vs rest of the world.

VW is an affordable brand.

And Skoda and SEAT are even more affordable brands, and essentially the same cars.

VW has been caught lying about the capabilities of their cars, then the executives blamed the engineers to cover their asses. If one needs a reason to forget about VW.

VW was the _first_ company selling diesel powered passenger vehicles to be caught lying. Opel/GM, Chrysler, Nissan, Jeep, Renault, Peugeot, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, and Porsche were all later caught somehow skirting diesel emissions testing. Basically all large truck manufacturers did it too.

Clean diesel is a myth, it never was a thing and the only reason anyone thought it was was because the entire auto industry was lying to regulators and customers for decades.

Toyota has their fair share of similar scandals. Maybe none at such as scale as WW, but still.
