This makes no sense. VW is a public company, employing regular people, making good cars in Germany and elsewhere. No one brings up the past for Japanese, so not sure what the logic for punishing VW is?

Who is punishing VW? I drive one (my 3rd) & it's a great car. I'm not using it to signal my virtue though, and I am suggesting it's a poor choice for that purpose.

Having and/or abiding by personal principles is hardly virtue signally — to the best of my understanding, it’s just called having a moral compass.

It seems like people think that having a Tesla virtue signals for musk, so I think you have the equation backwards.
