The latest news is that Volkswagen chief executive Martin Winterkorn resigned on Wednesday, less than a week after a  scandal regarding falsified emission tests. The scandal is quite huge that Volkswagen is at risk of billions in fines and even could face criminal prosecution. How bad do you think it could hurt Volkswagen's brand?

Unless you actually suffer from diesel emissions (eg people with respiratory issues), I doubt that this will have much of an impact for the perceived brand in Europe.
 
We (should) all know that most emissions tests are bogus anyway. In any event, I seriously doubt that anybody that isn't affected directly cares about emissions. If you do, you shouldn't buy diesel in the first place.

I'm not too much into this news, but I doubt they might have any considerable negative effect.
 
They are likely to have enough wealth to cover all the fines. The ones collecting the cash get happy, Volkswagen keeps existing, and everyone's happy.
 
About the emissions, sadly we live in a world where most of people doesn't give a crap about pollution. If they are unable to deposit trash in the right place, don't expect them to be worried about the car pollution.
 
About the brand itself, only ecologists might boicott it. Others will just keep watching their wallets, that that happened to be the origin of Volkswagen itself too, and will keep buying them if there is no better alternative for them.
 
And the evil clutches of powerful corporations, greedy fine collectors and careless people continues, while nature keeps being the victim once again (because this is not new, pollution keeps happening regardless of if there is a "legal" limitation or not). If they were really worried about emissions, they would swap to bicycles or natural gas. To you Well, not THOSE emissions and not THAT gas, the other kind of gas. You know, natural gas.
