In Germany, around 30,000 diesel vehicles conforming to the Euro 6 emissions standard may have been fitted with illegal emissions software, Spiegel said.

I would have to assume that if all this is is software - that Audi - knowing it would be checked - would have come up with a reason other than this to reflash the computers and eliminate the problem. If they did not - they deserve to be in Jail for stupidity.

Quel Surprise!

I for one would be VERY surprised if the VW groups high-performance gas engines (TT V8'S, TT W12'S, and Veyron W16's) did not also use some kind of cheat software.

How can the Veyron's W16 multi-turbo NOT dump all kinds of stuff out of the tailpipe? It stretches the boundaries of reasonableness.
