VW scandal is the truth but its still my choice

Who owned this Passat alltrack 2016? I think VW will release better versions in the future :)

Facing with a potential $18 bill to fix the issues. Something got to give and I doubt they have any spare change to develop anything in future.

 

They would be lucky if they do not have to sell some entities in their group to stay afloat with further suits n penalties on the way.

 

In addition to product stalemate, maybe services will even drop to lower standards.

Toyota view on Volkswagen scandal: don't obsess over No. 1

 

which company is not target to raise volume? see BMW ... from 1-7 series got 2dr, 4dr, coupe, convertible, 2dr grandcoupe, 4dr touring, 4dr GT, suv also got coupe, etc and now making FWD ...

 

volume is EVERYTHING !!!

 

"Toyota is not indifferent to volume, we have a clear target to raise volume, but I want everybody in the world to see our company as the greatest car manufacturer, rather than the biggest".

The Environmental Protection Agency on Monday issued a second notice of violation against Volkswagen, and this time included a Porsche model. 

Monday's announcement adds more vehicles to the list of affected cars, including the 2014 VW Touareg, the 2015 Porsche Cayenne and the 2016 Audi A6 Quattro, A7 Quattro, A8, A8L and Q5.

The EPA said the German automaker installed software designed to defeat emissions tests on 2014 to 2016 vehicles with 3-liter, six-cylinder diesel engines. In September, the automaker acknowledged rigging emissions tests for four-cylinder diesel engines.

The new notice marks the first time a Porsche model has been implicated in the scandal.

Volkswagen refuted the allegations and said it had installed no software on its 3-litre V6 diesel motors to improperly change emissions values. It said that it was cooperating fully with the EPA. 

Porsche, which is owned by The Volkswagen Group, said on Monday that it will also cooperate fully with the authorities.

"We are surprised to learn this information. Until this notice, all of our information was that the Porsche Cayenne Diesel is fully compliant," it said in a statement.

As expected, they can lie abt fixing gb problem for so many years let alone emissions which is not visible to customer. They can stop selling diesel cars altogether already.

VW Emissions Issues Spread to Gasoline Cars
November 4, 2015 — 2:12 AM SGT

Updated on November 4, 2015 — 7:31 AM SGT

 

 

  • Company adds about 2 billion euros to possible economic risk
  • Tally of 800,000 added to estimated 11 million cars worldwide

 

Volkswagen AG said it found faulty emissions readings for the first time in gasoline-powered vehicles, widening a scandal that so far had centered on diesel engines. Separately, the company’s Porsche unit said it’s halting North American sales of a model criticized by U.S. regulators.

Volkswagen said an internal probe showed 800,000 cars had “unexplained inconsistencies” concerning their carbon-dioxide output. Previously, the automaker estimated it would need to recall 11 million vehicles worldwide -- more than Volkswagen sold last year. It was unclear how much overlap there was between the two tallies. The company said the new finding could add at least 2 billion euros ($2.2 billion) to the 6.7 billion euros already set aside for fixes to the affected vehicles but not litigation, fines or customer compensation. 

The crisis that emerged after Volkswagen admitted in September to cheating U.S. pollution tests for years with illegal software has shaved more than one-third of the company’s stock price and led to a leadership change. Today’s revelation adds to the pressure on Volkswagen’s new chief executive officer, Matthias Mueller, who replaced Martin Winterkorn and was previously head of Porsche. Volkswagen’s supervisory board said it will meet soon to discuss further measures and consequences.

 

“VW is leaving us all speechless,” said Arndt Ellinghorst, a London-based analyst with Evercore ISI.

Volkswagen’s American depositary receipts fell 5.6 percent to $25.49 at the close in New York. They have declined 30 percent since Sept. 18, when U.S. regulators said the company admitted to the emissions cheating.

Volkswagen’s Polo, Golf and Passat models are affected as well as the subcompact A1 and the A3 hatchback at the Audi premium brand, a Volkswagen spokesman said by phone. The affected models at other brands include the Skoda Octavia, the Seat Ibiza and the Seat Leon.

The 1.4-liter, 1.6-liter and 2-liter TDI diesel engines account for the vast majority of affected cars. The only gasoline engine is a 1.4-liter version with cylinder head shutdown, but the number of those cars “is very limited,” the spokesman said.

 

Most of the affected cars are in Europe and the 2 billion euros in possible costs are an initial estimate, according to the spokesman. The automaker will determine how much money to set aside once the probe has been finalized, he said.

The 3.0-liter diesel motors targeted on Monday by a U.S. Environmental Protect Agency probe aren’t part of the latest finding. The company rejected allegations that its cheating on diesel-emissions tests included Porsche and other high-end vehicles. The EPA said its new investigation centers on the Porsche Cayenne and VW Touareg sport utility vehicles and as well as larger sedans and the Q5 SUV from Audi.

But then late Tuesday, Porsche’s North American division said it would voluntarily discontinue sales of diesel-powered Cayennes from model years 2014 to 2016 until further notice. The Atlanta-based unit’s statement reiterated that the EPA notice was unexpected and that owners can operate their vehicles normally.

“We are working intensively to resolve this matter as soon as possible,” Porsche said in the statement.

Further Irregularities

Wolfsburg, Germany-based Volkswagen said the findings surfaced following a “comprehensive investigation to establish whether there were indications of further irregularities” after the initial findings rocked the company in September.

“This adds to the bad news,” said Sascha Gommel, a Frankfurt-based analyst at Commerzbank AG. “You can of course argue that they pursue a rigorous approach in identifying wrongdoings in the company, but this latest news is clearly negative for the company and you will see this in tomorrow’s share price for sure.”

Including today’s announcement, Volkswagen’s total liabilities might have grown to about 13.2 billion euros, said London-based JPMorgan Chase & Co. analyst Jose Asumendi. “We note that the company continues to leave no stone unturned and still enjoys a 27.8 billion euro net cash position to face the crisis,” Asumendi said in a report.

‘Painful Process’

Mueller has pledged to overhaul the company’s corporate culture, which he said must change to create a more transparent environment that can discover possible faults.

“This is a painful process, but it is our only alternative,” Mueller said in an e-mailed statement. VW “deeply regrets this situation” and “will stop at nothing and nobody” to get to the bottom of the matter, he said.

The scandal has weighed heavily on Volkswagen’s earnings. The automaker reported its first quarterly loss last month in at least 15 years because of the reserve funds set aside to implement fixes.

Bo ho say liao. Even petrol engine also cheated. VW is really killing earth, the people yet can boldly market their engine as green engine. Not only minus points for VW, but also for Merc and BMW and Germany as a whole.
