The analyzed figures show that Volkswagen Group sold over 5 million cars and light trucks worldwide and more than any other automaker in the first half of 2016. 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. We don't know the right time when it all has started, but for sure the FCA dealerships were a part of the plan.
