Recently, information has appeared that indicates there are important reasons to use nitrogen in your tires. However, when you look closely at it, other than stable pressure, there's no reason to use it at all.

In the latest Dieselgate twist, it seems that some enterprising owners have decided to push the limits of the buyback agreement by gutting their cars of parts and then turning them in. Of course, VW is pissed off; the judge is peeved, and the FTC is outraged, as they well should be because the owners are wrong.

Looking at the ever-rising costs of Dieselgate, you have to wonder, why Volkswagen did it to itself? It was at the top of its game, battling tooth-and-nail with Toyota for World Number One and suddenly the wheels came off when the world found out, VW was a cheat.

Volkswagen has taken a huge step toward giving the U.S. market its head and letting it determine its own fate as the automaker has begun series production of the 2017 VW Atlas. It is the first -- and largest -- crossover in VW's lineup built in the U.S. for American tastes.

Continuing a strong year, the Volkswagen Group is rebounding from all of the noise created by its self-inflicted Dieselgate sales controversy.
