Volkswagen (Page 20)

Volkswagen earned a deadline extension from a Federal Judge last month to work out a deal with the EPA, CARB, and U.S. Justice Department over the diesel emission scandal. But concerns are popping up that Volkswagen could miss this extension.

Volkswagen's U.S. dealers have been wanting to know that the German automaker has their back ever since the diesel emission scandal broke. They got some of that reassurance this weekend.

It was a sad day on March 18th as the final Phaeton rolled off the line at the Transparent Factory in Dresden, Germany.

In late February, a U.S. gave Volkswagen an ultimatum: By March 24th, they would need to give a status update as to a fix for the illegal diesel vehicles. That date has since passed. What happened?

Last year at the New York Auto Show, Volkswagen showed a prototype of a rugged Golf Sportswagen to gauge interest. Called the Alltrack, this model would give the Subaru XV Crosstrek some competition. It seems there was a lot of interest as Volkswagen has announced the Golf Alltrack would be coming to the U.S. for the 2017 model year.

This week marks the six-month anniversary of the EPA official announcement that Volkswagen used illegal software on diesel models to cheat emission tests. Not much has happened in trying to find a solution or suitable punishment. But it appears something is happening on one of those fronts.

Aside from Volkswagen, the hardest group hit by the diesel emission scandal are Volkswagen's dealers. With the departure of Volkswagen of America's CEO and President this week, something has snapped in dealers and they want answers.

In a surprise announcement yesterday, Volkswagen of America CEO and President Michael Horn stepped down.

The news isn't getting better for Volkswagen in terms of the diesel emission scandal. In fact, CEO Matthias Mueller said it will keep the company busy 'for a long time.'

It has been over six months since the EPA announced that Volkswagen was using illegal software on their 2.0L TDI engine to cheat emission tests. The bad news is that it could be months before a deal between Volkswagen and U.S regulators can be reached.

Volkswagen wanted to make headlines at the Geneva Auto Show for the vehicles they were showing. But they also made the headlines for something quite funny and embarrassing.

A fire has been lit under Volkswagen. A federal judge has given the German automaker a late March deadline to provide an update on a fix for 600,000 diesel vehicles that used illegal software to emit more emissions than are legally allowed.

The underlying question that seems to be asked with every story dealing with the Volkswagen diesel emission scandal is, could it get any worse? Over the weekend, it did.

It has been a couple months since Volkswagen announced that Kenneth Feinberg was being brought in to develop a compensation program for owners affected by the diesel emission scandal in the U.S. How is he faring?

Volkswagen is beginning to buy back certain models equipped with the 2.0L TDI engine. The bad news is this program is only for dealers.

Volkswagen is crossing their fingers as they hope the proposed fix for the 3.0L TDI V6 passes muster with the EPA and California Air Resources Board.

The Geneva Motor Show is just a couple of months away and already we are getting some ideas of what will be shown.

The emission cheating scandal that Volkswagen finds itself in stretches all the way back to 2006 and was an 'open secret' among a group of employees.

The person who will be leading Volkswagen's North American Operations has a difficult task ahead of them. They will be charged with strengthen the brand in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. Who is the lucky person to take this position?

If you were to ask a Volkswagen executive if there was a worst week since the diesel emission scandal broke out in September, most likely they would point to last week.

Over the past six days, the writers here at TorqueNews have offered up their favorite vehicles from 2015 including the BMW M4, the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, the VW Golf GTI, the Acura RLX Sport Hybrid, the Alfa Romeo 4C and the new Mazda Miata.

Volkswagen's iconic hot hatch stole this writer's heart. Here's how it did it.

The hits just keep on coming at Volkswagen over their illegal cheating device used on diesel vehicles.

The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) might not be the first place you would think an automaker would debut a concept vehicle.

Have you ever wanted to own a vehicle from the Fast and Furious movie franchise? You'll have the chance to bid on one next month.

The diesel emission scandal at Volkswagen has claimed another casualty.

Volkswagen is taking a page from General Motors' playbook on dealing with a massive mess.

Volkswagen's flagship Phaeton won't be around much longer.

The changes are real, and they are significant. So why did sales dive?

November is the month that may give us the answer.
