Talk Morgan Forums Community Vehicle Talk (non-Morgan) Volkswagen to Recall Nearly 500,000 vehicles

Since when did any large "Corporate Body" disclose the truth 'on day 1'?
Time and time gain we see a scandal/crisis, and the gut reaction of the senior people is threefold.
1) Go into stealth mode and hope the bullets miss you.
2) See who can be lined up to take the blame.
3) Admit nothing.

I may be a cynic but it happened with the banks on a huge scale. Politicians do it when a scandal hits. Oil companies do it when there's a spill or dubious business practices.
And so it goes on.
