    Many have been caught. Not all of them have made a big deal about it.

    You simply cannot build a compliant engine without cheating. The fight has gone to the courts to find out what kind of cheating is permissible...

    Basically all of them have cheated. You needed good emission test results, but without having a miracle idea that evaded everyone else in the business you simply had no competitive results without cheating. That's physics, and physics is a very hard and unforgiving ruler.
