They still tell lies, only now they do it in full collusion with the proper authorities. Normally aspirated engines are dead there now, because smaller engines with turbos are "greener", even when they are only more efficient in laboratory conditions that do not jive with real world driving at all. So if you drive a car spirited (like most people do with lots of German cars) then you're actually using more fuel in real life. Kind of like how they "lied" with their fake green alternative energy mandates only to see their utility bills skyrocket and their CO2 increase and they are turning back to coal for part of the solution.

Dieselgate was nothing in comparison.
