Well, I was only seven years behind the times.

Again pat, no.

Appears from that story that the tests showed the vehicles were about 7 times over on average, but Mazda diesel results were better than most.

Where in that report does it say VW was 35 times over?. Pat

This story says some VW vehicles, which include Audi, Skoda and Porsche, emitted up to 40 times the US standards for NOx, which are tougher than the EU standards, which seem to have been poorly designed and implemented, but other companies were also in the wrong, of course.

Mick,they didn't run the vehicles on the road with emissions equipment fitted,they just reported that vehicles could produce 40 times the limit without proof,that is the same site that tested the vehicles on the road and found VAG the best and Mazda the worst in real world tests. Pat

Again, no pat.
The original study that showed up to 35 times us EPA emissions by vw, not Mazda , WAS done on the road in real world conditions with the emissions gear attached. google it. There are pics and video of it fitted.
University of west Virginia I think, where actually aiming for the opposite outcome, which was to prove how clean and efficient diesel's where.
