The thing is other companies as far as we know can pass without a cheat. I also hope this draws attention to exactly how different the US standards are on diesels compared to the rest of the world. We don't even have that many here to worry about. I would also like one of these big companies to do an all out economy tune on a motor, emissions no object, all emissions removed, to show exactly what we are giving up and then show how bad the emissions are to see what we are getting in return. Then, it shouldn't be a one size fits all standard as certain things like particulate are really bad in the crouded LA Valley but meaningless in wide open Wyoming.
