Volkswagen selling cars with diesel engines in U.S. again

Volkswagen selling cars with diesel engines in U.S. again: Volkswagen has been into a difficult period the latest 2 years, after being caught cheating on emissions, but now the automaker is selling cars with diesel engines in U.S. again. Customers lined up to buy two-year-old Volkswagen diesel cars when the automaker unexpectedly resumed sales in April.
