The 2019 Q8 is the latest and greatest from Audi, a so-called four-door coupe that was inspired by models like the BMW X6 and Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class Coupe.

German prosecutors have recorded calls between VW bigwigs talking dieselgate
It's barely possible to believe how poorly Volkswagen continues to handle dieselgate. Depending on which day you catch the news, the German carmaker embodies the corporate venality of "Michael Clayton," the comic blundering of the Coen Brothers' "Burn After Reading," and the every-man-for-himself vengeance of "Reservoir Dogs." Today is Tarantino day, with news that German prosecutors have recordings of phone calls between former Audi and Porsche development boss Wolfgang Hatz, ex-Volkswagen Group executive Matthias Müller, and current Porsche executives Oliver Blume and Michael Steiner. Hatz made the calls to the trio in November 2015, two months after Volkswagen admitted its diesel-particulate sins to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Volkswagen Boss’s Nazi Comments Are Hard to Excuse
VW boss Herbert Diess has many of the qualities needed to manage that transition, including a long-term vision, an eye for unnecessary costs and dogged determination. The German car giant’s efforts to leave behind the diesel scandal via a massive pivot to electric vehicles were put in jeopardy last week when Diess said something incredibly stupid and offensive: “Ebit macht frei.” (Roughly translated as “Profit sets you free”). Every German knows the callous and false entreaty “Arbeit macht frei” (work sets you free) that prisoners entering Nazi concentration camps were forced to observe.

Billionaire Porsche Family May Want to Buy Even More Shares of VW
VW rose the most in almost three weeks Tuesday after the family holding company, Porsche Automobil Holding SE, said the German carmaker’s market value doesn’t reflect its “vast potential.” The family investment vehicle now owns 53.1 percent of VW, an increase of 0.9 percentage points. VW, alongside other carmakers, is under pressure to pay for the seismic shift to electric cars while the payoff could be years away. Record spending to keep up with emissions regulation and investor doubts about the future of incumbent automakers has hurt valuations for VW, which now trades at 5.45 times earnings.

In picking Microsoft's cloud, Volkswagen shows that even carmakers have some fear of Amazon
Volkswagen is one of several automakers to choose Microsoft Azure for cloud computing. In the cloud wars, Microsoft has been able to win big business from retailers, largely because companies like Walmart WMT , Kroger KR , Gap GPS and Target TGT are opting not to write big checks to rival Amazon. The more Amazon grows, the more that calculation could start working its way into other industries — like automotive.

SEC Charges Volkswagen With Defrauding U.S. Bond Investors
BERLIN—The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission sued Volkswagen AG and Martin Winterkorn for defrauding U.S. investors in relation to the company’s diesel cheating scandal, claiming the auto maker’s former chief executive knew about the fraud much earlier than previously acknowledged. The fresh civil claims and the allegation that Mr. Winterkorn was aware of the fraud as early as 2007 deal a blow to Volkswagen’s effort to put the scandal behind it and rebuild its reputation in the U.S. The SEC’s move could also expose the company to new fines in the U.S. and bolster the case of thousands of investors who are suing Volkswagen for damages in Germany.

Volkswagen's supervisory board on Friday condemned remarks made by the company's chief executive after he appeared to allude to a Nazi-era slogan when he attempted to describe the carmaker's earnings potential. Herbert Diess this week said "EBIT macht Frei" before apologising for the comments and explaining he in no way wanted to draw a comparison to the Nazi-era slogan "Arbeit Macht Frei", which appeared on the gates of Auschwitz during the Holocaust. "Experience at Volkswagen shows that brands with higher margins normally have greater freedom of choice within the Group.
