I may not like some of the consequences of the EPA but I know its done in most part to protect us just as the FDA does for our food supply or restaurant food and health inspectors that keep us from getting sick while enjoying a night out with our families.
Remember its cause and effects on regulations being instituted. Just saying.

The emissions bypass isn't illegal, or lazy. VW had it set up where it could detect when it was on a test station to beat certifications. The FCA system is allowed as it only engages in certain driving conditions as permitted by the EPA and the clean air act, etc.
Where FCA may have messed up is by not disclosing them properly.
