Just because they fudged the test doesn't necessarily mean they are putting out more emissions than anything else.

I saw an emissions test of a whole range of vehicles while they were in use and they were all blowing a lot more than the claims. The emissions claims are based on a standard set of conditions, exactly the same as fuel consumption tests are conducted under a controlled environment, but on the road we all blow out well past those figures.
The cheat device was targetted at the US market who have a different set of diesel conditions to everywhere else in the world, it made no difference in the Australian market as the vehicle complies as well as every other diesel engine... the only difference was that it had the redundant software in the computer. The technology driving the motor is the same across a lot of manufacturers, so VAG are not so unique.
Speaking to a VW salesman though, he said Dieselgate didn't affect his sales at all.
