Audi CEO Rupert Stadler told stockholders today they can expect no more unethical conduct in the aftermath of parent company Volkswagen AG’s widespread diesel emission cheating scandal, Reuters reports.
“We will continue until the job is done,” Stadler declares. Earlier this week Audi’s supervisory board agreed to extend Stadler’s contract to 2022 despite outside criticism of his handling of the diesel crisis.
Audi developed one of the engines, a 3.0-liter V-6, that used illegal software to evade regulatory emission limits for nitrogen oxides. VW has agreed to spend as much as $25 billion (€22.5 billion) in remediation for cheater diesels sold in the U.S., including about 80,000 equipped with the Audi engine.

Mustang Changes for 2018
On Tuesday Ford unveiled—using the social media channels of actor Dwayne Johnson (this has got to unnerve some of the auto buff book editors)—the 2018 Mustang, which has undergone some modifications: under the hood (the 3.7-liter V6 is giving way to a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four, and a 10-speed automatic is available), on the dash (a 12-inch, all-digital LCD screen is available for the dashboard), at the tires (12 wheel choices), on the chassis (MagneRide damper technology is being offered with the Mustang Performance Package), and on the exterior (three new paint colors). And while on the subject of the exterior, there are some notable changes—a lower, remodeled hood, repositioned hood vents, new upper and lower front grilles, LED front lights, revised LED taillamps, new rear bumper and fascia.
