I wouldn't be surprised if we see lots of things like this come out over the next months. VW has got seriously burned, but I highly doubt that they are the only ones fiddling the playing field. More than likely, different manufacturer's (especially the big ones with lots of money) can afford to take their competitor's cars to pieces and look for areas where their competitors are cheating. They take them apart to gather engineering knowledge from competitors already. Then they leak that information. Why? Because if you are the only one to step in your own dog shit, then you stink and look stupid. If you make everyone step in their own dog shit, then everyone collectively stinks. If you can't avoid the smell, you learn to accept it. Somewhat like living in London in the 1600's.
