Volkswagen (Page 21)

It is a rare occurrence whenever a prototype is available for sale. Usually, they are crushed or put into an automaker's collection. Imagine how rare it must be for two prototypes to go up for sale.

Owners of Audi, Porsche, Volkswagen vehicles equipped with the 3.0L TDI V6, we have some very good news.

Many people have been clamoring Volkswagen to bring the Amarok pickup to the U.S. Volkswagen has now introduced an updated Amarok that will only make more people wanting this truck.

It is an impressive feat when a Volkswagen GTI, a front-wheel drive hot hatch, can lap the infamous Nürburgring racetrack under eight minutes. The even better part is you can buy this particular GTI.

Volkswagen has been saying time and time again that it was only a small group of employees that knew about the illegal software installed on a number of their diesel models around the world. But a 2006 presentation is putting doubt into that claim.

We'll admit we like absurd project vehicles. For example, building a drag car using a Hyundai Elantra as base earns high marks from us. But we'll admit this Volkswagen Beetle is a bit crazy even for us.

It has been six years since Volkswagen started producing the Amarok pickup for various markets. Since that time, the company hasn't done any drastic changes.

After seven months and continuous discussions, Volkswagen and the U.S. Justice Department have reached an agreement over the diesel emission scandal.

Tomorrow was going to be a make or break day for Volkswagen as they would need to tell a U.S. District Court Judge if they were able to work out a deal with the U.S. Government or face the possibility of a federal trial.

Volkswagen's Beetle could be coming to an end in the next couple of years.

We'll admit the Volkswagen diesel scandal has gone in various directions and places we weren't expecting. Case in point is an owner of a Volkswagen dealer planning a documentary on the scandal.

2016 marks the 40th anniversary of the Volkswagen Golf GTI, the model that started the hot hatch craze. To celebrate, Volkswagen has a big surprise in store.

Since it came to light that Volkswagen used illegal software on diesel vehicles to cheat emission tests, questions of whether anyone else had done this. The German regulator for transportation has finished its testing on diesel vehicles and has the answer.

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.
