Umm, GM has been doing SAE certified testing for a looong time. I believe they may have been doing it this way ever since that standard became available....
As for the lying part... I won't go there. It generally starts as bending a rule here and there, a progresses over time.
I am sure that the Boeing employees were very well paid, yet they fell into the same trap. A lot of people died because of it.
People are people. When they are left to unsupervised by someone with more skin in the game..... Well things can get a little lax.
GM may have been doing the "certified" testing on some of their gasoline engines since 2006, but not their diesel engine. In fact, I am looking at the most up to date list right now and the only Duramax diesel that is on the list is the LML. None of the other Duramax versions are on the certified list. So does this mean GM is lying too since even the current L5P is not "certified" or are you now going to back track and say it doesn't matter now?
