    VW have apologised for the tests. The other two have stated that they weren't involved.

    Bob, I think you're reading what you want to read from that article.
    Perhaps you need to read it again?
    ... "The BMW Group in no way influenced the design or methodology of studies carried out on behalf of the EUGT," the Bavarian automaker said in a statement. Daimler, which owns the Mercedes-Benz brand, distanced itself from the study and said it was carrying out a review to find out how the experiment had been commissioned.

    Perhaps you need to read my last post again - the bit that says:

    I can't see anything there that says more blame lies with VW than the other 3.
