Volkswagen, the Justice Department and Federal Trade Commission Friday asked federal court to approve the final settlement of the Dieselgate scandal. Approval is the next step needed so owners can receive their buyback payments.

Negotiators are working diligently to reach an agreement on the criminal settlement of the Dieselgate case. They are trying to find closure before January when the administrations change and the faces at the negotiation table change.

You'd never know it to look at a the VW Beetle, but, believe it or not, when tuned correctly it can compete with the hypercars of the world, easily hitting 205 mph, which it did recently on the Bonneville Salt Flats.

Whether it was timing or coincidence, the release of VW's plans for a major generation of 30 electric vehicles, to be launched by 2025, may have dulled any response that the anniversary of Dieselgate may have created.

It's not exactly what anyone would order, but it's here nonetheless, a new VW issue. At least this time, though, it's not a major scandal -- it's just exploding vehicles.

Volkswagen's Dieselgate troubles may just have become a little worse today as the European Commission said the automaker may have violated the laws in 20 nations.

Skoda wants, probably more than anything else right now, to crack the U.S. market. They had planned to use the new Kodiaq, just introduced. It is a three-row, full-size SUV that should do well. The only fly in the ointment is a rather large one, Volkswagen, its parent. The automaker plans to introduce their own version of the same SUV in the U.S. Guess which vehicle will be sold here, at least, first, not the Skoda.

As pressure grows in the U.K. to get firmer timeframes on Dieselgate decisions, class-action suits are occurring all over. Are they delaying a return to normal for VW?
