THE recent scandal over Volkswagen’s ‘green’ engines didn’t stop it topping the list of Spanish sales in 2015.
The German-owned car maker sold 88,300 vehicles last year, a 14.7% increase on 2014, according to the associations of manufacturers (ANFAC), dealers (Faconauto) and vendors (Ganvam).
VW’s strong sales come despite the furore over its so-called green engines, which omitted up to 40 times the permitted level of nitrogen oxide.
Seat, the Volkswagen-owned company, sold the second-highest number of cars, up 14.2% on 2014 at 77,529 units.
Renault were a close third, at 77,087.

VW cheat and lie!
So do politicians, (who connived with VW) but they still get votes and power over us. We buy their lies as eagerly as we still buy VW cars.
