The EU imposed emissions testing is a joke.
A recent study in London showed that normal diesel passenger cars used in the live environment were emitting more crap than the EU lab figures for buses. Thanks EU.
We were sold a pup with the financial inducements to go diesel (fortunately I never did, don't do sufficient mileage to make it pay), further compounded by a testing regime that bears no relation whatsoever to actual emissions performance.
And then they're are the likes of VW Group. Throughout their history they've proven they're liars, with lower morals than Charles Manson, and Muppets are still queuing up to buy their products.
With the state of politics and the behaviour of manufacturers I can see no easy way out, at least in Europe.
