Not a unique German thing, I am afraid, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_emissions_scandal

"A practice by diesel vehicles including the Volvo S60, Renault's Espace Energy and the Jeep Renegade, exceeded legal European emission limits for nitrogen oxide (NO x) by more than 10 times.[1] ICCT and ADAC showed the biggest deviations from Volvo, Renault, Jeep, Hyundai, Citroën and Fiat."

Remember that time you did something wrong? I'll make sure to bring that up next time I read an article about something you did, regardless of what what you did wrong or what the article is about.

I suspect you are being downvoted for the low effort comment that is just a google search link with no context or commentary. I don't think it particularly has anything to do with the content since few people are going to expend the effort figuring out what you are talking about.
