Yes, we are far off topic. Let me just say that while there is an element of protectionism in this, not every manufacturer crossed the line. They all stretch, bend and interpret the rules creatively, but note that the other brands introducing diesel cars in US had to use Adblue (urea), because of the lower NOx limits. Only VW did not. Everybody knew? Well, since the nineties it was obvious one could easily detect the CARB driving cycle and switch fuel map. And yes every one was joking about it and worried about what other manufacturers were doing. But no, speculating and worrying is not the same as knowing. It must have been a quite small community around suppliers and car industry that knew.
And btw. no offense taken.
