In the first half of 2015, Volkswagen overtook Toyota as the world's top carmaker by sales. It doesn’t look like it’s going to stay on top very long. Last month, it was revealed that Volkswagen had installed software to cheat U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tests for almost 500,000 diesel engine VW and Audi cars, model years 2009-2015.
