A report by law firm Jones Day about the Volkswagen diesel emission scandal concludes that VW CEO Matthias Mueller had no knowledge of the cheating scheme, according to Bild am Sonntag.
The German newspaper says Mueller didn't learn about VW’s use of software to evade emission standards in 11 million vehicles until September 2015. That was when the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced the illegal practice.
Mueller had been in charge of Porsche at the time and was promoted to group CEO a week after the disclosure. He replaced Martin Winterkorn, who resigned because of the diesel rigging scandal.

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.
