If that's the case, any software fix WITHOUT the addition of urea injection will result in serious power reduction.

The trade off when designing the map is between NOx and fuel efficiency. Using SCR provides more headroom, but without it, you are trading mpg for grams of NOx. So they had two maps, and a detection algorithm that recognized the EPA test cycle (throttle movements, speed, etc) and used either map 1 (EPA) OR map 2 (mpg). What will be interesting is if the reduction in mpg with the legal map takes the vehicle down to the advertised fuel efficiency, or below. If the former, then customers have been getting a free ride of sorts, polluting more but saving on fuel. If the latter, then I see buybacks.

Although not given the name, it does look like a BMW E70 to me from the back. Picture on page 38 of the entire study performed by Univeristy of West Virginia on behalf of ICCT :
http://www.theicct.org/sites/default...al_may2014.pdf Altough I'm not questioning the findings of the investigation, it makes me wonder how and why were these cars chosen for the study and not others/or more, as there are other diesels on the US market

 It is interesting that even VW with Urea injection showed increased NOX emissions. These probably could be fixed with computer reflash.

VWs market value down 26 billion $s as of this afternoon.
I might have to add some to my portfolio if it drops much more.
