2018 VW TIGUAN EARNS TOP SAFETY PICK
Oct. 26: The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety awarded VW's new Tiguan with forward collision warning and braking assist its second highest score. It earned good ratings for crash protection and a superior rating for its autonomous emergency braking. Headlights received a marginal score for some trims.
Oct. 23: EPA and CARB Approve 3.0-liter 2013-2016 Diesel SUV Fix, Covers 38,000 Vehicles
Model years 2013-2016 VW Touareg, Porsche Cayenne diesel vehicles plus 2013-2015 Audi Q7s get software and possible hardware changes to comply with emissions requirements.
VW'S 2018 "PEOPLE FIRST" WARRANTY AD FEATURES VINTAGE VW BUS
Oct. 13: TV spots for VW's new warranty don't show its new cars. Instead, we see a 1960s-era Woodstock-like music festival where a split-window bus offers concert goers refuge from a storm. With help from some friends, that bus is later pushed out of the mud, revealing a vintage VW Beetle. A voiceover says VW drivers have put others first, now VW returns the favor.
VW AXES THIRD-GEN SCIROCCO
Oct 13: VW announced it's not filling orders for the "Roc," its two-door hatchback coupe. In other words, it stopped building Sciroccos. Introduced in 2008, this revival of a storied name in VW sports coupes rolled on a fifth-gen Golf platform. It shared a factory with the Eos retractable hardtop. While VW hinted they'd build a fourth-generation Scirocco, the prospects currently look dim.
