Volkswagen (VW) is in big trouble. And today's posting on Facebook (above) is an indication.

German businesses are not really known for their laissez faire attitude towards underlings making major decisions without supervision and approval. As a result, most us find it very hard to believe that the emissions fiasco could have occurred without people at the top having some knowledge.

If VW wants to continue as one of the biggest and most respected automobile manufacturers in the world then there is going to have be a whole lot of grovelling and explaining going on. This is small part of the process.

There will be many more.
