Volkswagen has been into a difficult period the latest 2 years, after being caught cheating on emissions, but now the automaker is selling cars with diesel engines in U.S. again. Customers lined up to buy two-year-old Volkswagen diesel cars when the automaker unexpectedly resumed sales in April. Many VW customers may still want the fuel efficient diesels — also called TDIs — but the few thousand cars left at dealerships after the automaker resolved its emission-fraud crisis are the last ones the automaker plans to sell in the U.S. One dealership, in Troy, Mich., got five...
Volkswagen has agreed last year to offer to buy back up to 475,000 2.0 liter diesel vehicles that had been sold in the U.S. and now its plan for 84,000 older Volkswagen diesel vehicles has been approved by the U.S. Envirnomantal Protection Agency and California Air Resources Board. Friday's announcement covers a fix for 84,390 2012-2014 Passat diesel vehicles with automatic transmissions. A fix for vehicles with manual transmissions has not yet been approved. In January, regulators approved a fix for 67,000 2015 model diesels, leaving around 325,000 older vehicles still awaiting...
Volkswagen Group claims that Audi cars with automatic transmissions have technology capable of distorting emissions when they are tested, as its premium brand is battling allegations over a reported discovery of a new cheat software device.

The software in CARB's discov...
Car makers can expect for some favorable environment for lucrative truck and SUV sales into the next year. As the right conditions come together for a continued oil glut. That heralds lower prices at the pump, les painful driving, and less scrutiny of EPA mileage figures on Monroney stickers. Oil supply and inventories are rising, but the demand falls off sharply, since the overseas interests are conspiring to keep prices down— and in their favor. The International Energy Agency have predicted an oversupplied crude oil market, with “glut” conditions lasting until ...
The 2017 Fiat 124 Spider is stylish, fun to drive and priced well under $30,000 for all but the top version. It's easily the best car in Fiat's four-vehicle U.S. lineup and a worthy successor to the storied original Fiat 124 Spider that debuted in November 1966. But the reincarnation of that iconic Italian sports car is built in Japan by Mazda. The two-seat convertible coupe -- powered by a turbocharged inline-four -- shares a platform with Mazda's MX-5 Miata, and the cars are built in the same plant. But the 124 Spider has a Fiat engine and transmission that together pro...
