Looks like VW is in the clear from all of that Dieselgate nonsense.

I'm a little surprised by the decline in Golf R's. I've been seeing so many on the road. They're such great little pocket rockets!

I think a lot of people are waiting for the 2018 Golf R's as there are some significant changes/improvements.

Next month should be better as availability of the Atlas improves.

Yes, the mid-sized sedan segment is in a slump, but sales of the Passat would have to double to be considered a mediocre volume for the segment.

It baffles me that someone would buy the ancient U.S. Passat over any other mid-size sedan.

looks like the release of the TDI Sportwagens was the difference in sales
