Despite the ongoing emissions scandal and slumping U.S. sales, Volkswagen Group overtakes Toyota as the largest automaker in 2016's first half. Its sales volume raised 1,5% from the year-earlier period to 5,11 million vehicles. Of course, the scandal involving Volkswagen's diesel models has had a significant impact on sales, but the automaker's Audi luxury brand and mass-media market Skoda brand did well. This was due to the fact that consumers in Europe were less aware of emissions problems with those two brands. China, being the world's largest automobile market, ...
We guess that there is no person who has not heard about the VW diesel-emissions scandal. The company, which owns 70 percent of the U.S. passenger-car diesel market, is in major trouble for cheating on diesel-emissions tests. However, this scandal did not prevent the company to take the leading position in its sales for the first half of the year.

According to the Center for Automotive Management, the carmaker sold up 0.8 p...
As you might already know from one of our previous article, FCA was reporting cheating sales for a while now.

One of these dealerships has talked about receiving subpoenas that ...

The sources did not specify the time period covered by the review but it revealed that 5,000 to 6,000 vehicles that were told to be sold by dealers, were unwound after. It's been told that the sales numbers were inflated in part under pressure to preserve FCA's streak of U.S. monthly year-over-year sales increases, which now stands at 75 months. The employee turnover rate among sales staff in the company's nine business ce...
The US sales of the 2017 BMW diesel vehicles will be delayed. This is due to the fact that US regulators has not certified the models. Bimmer, which sells diesel-powered 3-Series, 5-Series, X3, and X5 vehicles in the US has not announced the date when such domestic sales would start. The BMW spokeswoman Rebecca Kiehne said that the product certification has been delayed due to testing logistics. She also stressed that the production of the BMW diesel models will start after finalization of the cars' homologation. The problem is that US regulators decided to take a more del...
