On Tuesday, the South Korean Ministry of Environment pulled VW's right to sell 80 different models, including cars made by the VW, Audi, and Bentley brands, while also slapping Volkswagen with a fine of roughly $16 million. The move is the latest installment of South Korea's aggressive actions against the German carmaker; the nation is already the first country to arrest and indict a VW executive over the scandal.
