Indeed. Can you imagine the furore if we had pulled this trick?

Never said they did but VW actively cheated their way around the parameters regarded as tolerable purely to enhance their profits at the cost of goodness knows how many respiratory related complications and deaths.
It's not just about cheating governments, VW cheated everyone and took them for mugs. I hope they are buried and would encourage everyone, regardless of whether they have one of the cars from their Group, to pursue them until they break.
And that includes you and your dirty van
