You bought a Q5 3.0 Diesel for clean emmisions? Wait... What?

I'm surely not going to defend VW or any of the associated companies for cheating. But it should be kind of obvious that a car with such an engine does all but clean emmisions.

Yes. It's a 4500lb vehicle that averages 30mpg and supposedly passes the strictest emissions standards in the world... If I was in the market for a smaller car I would of course looked at models with a smaller engine (though I could have easily found myself in the same situation with a 2.0l TDI).

I don't know much about the auto market, but it seems that until this year, "clean diesel" was something people said with a straight face.
