It can't be VW alone, although I think that the chicanery VW had to resort to in qualifying its light diesels for both the US and EU markets goes a long way in explaining why the long rumored diesel Subarus and Hondas have yet to appear on this side of the water.
According to an article in this week's Economist, cheating on EU emissions tests is common and even winked at by regulators.
Many may recall that Cadillac was found to have used defeat logic similar to that used by VW on cars built some years back.
I'm wondering what other makers will be discovered to have used software rather than mechanical engineering to pass emissions tests?
VW may be the first, but I doubt that it'll be the last.
