    The kraftfahrzeugbundesamt which is the German equivalent to the vehicle registry in Shannon took 58 current diesel models and tested them. 56 of those were found to show significant irregularities. 2 were found ok. I didn't read the full article but it was across all makes and models.

    from wiki

    "The inaccurate tests by the Tokyo-based automaker involved 157,000 of its own-brand eK wagon and eK Space light passenger cars, and 468,000 Dayz and Dayz Roox vehicles produced for Nissan Motor Co. The models are all so-called "minicars" with tiny engines whose main attraction is generally great mileage. They were produced from March 2013."

    It takes years of training from an early age on. Don't be too hard on yourself.

    We like our mouthfuls don't we?

    In news reports today the CEO apologised but then went to couch his statement that he was not sure where the fault lay but possibly with the engineers. What a coward - the buck stops with the head of that corporation.

    Mitsubishi is a huge conglomerate in both industrial and financial areas. But there's more. I recall a documentary some years back (c 2009) about the state of fish stocks worldwide. All rather depressing made worse by the revelation that Mitsubishi were (are still?) stockpiling 10's of thousands of tons of Blue Fin tuna (a 3m specimen could be worth $100,000). Essentially, here's a 'respected' corporate betting on a species extinction to make a ton of money. How despicable.
