Despite the ongoing emissions scandal and slumping U.S. sales, Volkswagen Group overtakes Toyota as the largest automaker in 2016's first half.

VW has managed to compose a whole plan on how to fix 16,000 3.0 liter diesel VW, Audi and Porsche models, all of them being equipped with devices designed to cheat emissions tests. The plan was insufficient, that's what Air Resources Board commented on this issue. On a letter CARB says that VW and Audi's...
For more than a half year now Volkswagen has been under the fire and we know the reason of such an act pretty well. The company was lying to its buyers for years and the full emissions scandal has finally exploded this winter.
