On Radio 4 this morning, they put the BMW x3 down at being more than 10x the actual manufacture value.
BMW will be next up I reckon, probably the Korean companies soon after according to Reuters.
There is a lot more detail to all of this.
The brand new cars tested, especially diesel, have very different emissions profiles once the injectors start to get deposits. The fuel mix also has an effect on emissions which is beyond the control of OEMs.
What I don't understand is all the uproar about it, I bet most the people who are complaining about it also turn off 'stop-start' technology on their own cars.

Isn't it mostly the regulators complaining about it?
Yeah and most people thinking of buying a VW but being appauled by this will now buy an Audi or Seat or Skoda instead...
