Of course it was.

The day it was announced the CEO stepped down, said he knew of it, and assumed responsibility.

I’m not sure where the "rogue engineers" myth comes from, but VW Germany said on day one that it was top-level managers involved in it.

The '"rogue engineers" myth' comes from the CEO of VW USA. http://www.newyorker.com/business/currency/an-engineering-th...

Edit: The rest of your comment is false. The day the news came out, Winterkorn posted a video acknowledging the problem but not mentioning resignation -- he did not resign that day. And when he did resign, he explicitly said that he was not aware of any wrongdoing on his part. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/24/business/international/vol...

That's an interesting translation. He said he took the responsibility, but was unaware of wrongdoing when he resigned (I read the original announcement).

So, no, my comment isn't false — but yours isn't either.
