another couple of rogue engineers? or were it the same ones who just happened to change the specialization from diesel to gas? Or how about some fairies ... err ... hackers who hacked into the VW network and put the cheating codes into the engine software? I can't wait for the spin. Some PR agency specializing in crises will make a killing here :)

This is about under-reporting CO2 emissions on paper, which they happened to find while investigating the NOx scandal. It's not related to the engine software. The consequences of this should be purely financial—they will have to pay back tax incentives.
