I would be stunned if another manufacturer was. Stunned. It's one thing to do a Hyundai and claim your cars emissions are better than they are in reality but it's another to circumvent testing like this. I don't think people realize how incredibly stupid this was.

We know BMW is not likely as an X5 was tested next to the first VW found to fail and it passed and rumours are the Detroit big 3 were the ones that tipped off the EPA so highly doubtful they would do that if they were doing the same thing. IMO VAG is probably on their own island here as I don't see other automakers being this bold. The risk is simply too high as it could put smaller companies like Mazda out of business.
