It will be interesting to see if anyone else has done too.

Indeed. It has been suggested that the tests are such that no vehicle
could pass, in real world conditions.

I'm not convinced that that is accurate.
That then begs the question, how do non VWs pass? Are all diesel cars
cheating the tests, one way or another?

Seems unlikely that the original test that discovered VW's
faking didn't try any other diesel and find that they all did
and blow the lid off the entire industry.

They did, I recall an article that said diesel emissions from other
German manufactured cars were similar to formal test results.

No record of that in
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volksw...ons_violations

And yet none of the other German manufacturers
have had anything like the effect on their share price.

Perhaps you interpreted what I meant incorrectly,

Yes I did.

unlike VW, other German cars had the same emissions in road tests as they
did in formal testing.

Yes, that's much clearer now.
