Actually, this is a very good example. EU set certain standards for vehicle emissions. Different set of rules for petrol and diesel. VW CHOSE to cheat their way to compliance rather than innovate the path to compliance. By contrast, the US also has set requirements for diesel emissions. Mazda worked super hard to find a configuration that would meet US regs without using SCR. When they finally realized they had to incorporate SCR, they introduced the CX-5 diesel to the market, about three years late. They played by the rules. Unfortunately they came to market at a point where nobody cared, so now CX-5 diesel is gone again.
