Here are the five must-read, must-watch auto news stories, recalls and videos for Friday, October 30, 2015.
VW
Volkswagen Of America likely sold more new vehicles in October 2015 than in October 2014. How’d they swing out? We’ve talked previously about the enormous incentives offered on non-diesel models. October 2014 wasn’t the highest-volume October to begin with – sales were down 12% compared with October 2012, for instance. And diesels accounted for only one in five Volkswagens sold in America prior to the scandal. This doesn’t mean Volkswagen was immensely profitable in October, nor does it mean this trend can continue for long. But it likely suggests that Volkswagen is keeping its U.S. dealer body relatively happy.
