    The US government has just announced that it has filed suit against Volkswagen (as well as its luxury brands Audi and Porsche) for alleged violating the clean air act. This response is the first official response from the govenment since it was revealed that hundreds of thousands of diesel-powered Volkswagen cars in the US (as well as millions more around) contained software that reduced emissions when in an emissions-testing mode -- but when in normal operation, they produced nitrous oxide gases at over 40 times the claimed rate.
