According to a report published today, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles faces a criminal investigation by the United States Department of Justice over the EPA's claim that diesel engines in Jeep Grand Cherokees and Ram 1500 pickups violated the Clean Air Act.

2017 BMW 5-Series first drive review: Playing the middle
BMW’s middle child has always had identity issues.
It was all about big and bold vehicles at the Detroit auto show this year, and they didn’t come much bigger and bolder than the Audi Q8 concept. The concept hints at a production vehicle of the same name coming in 2018 and features a larger footprint than the related Q7, a fastback roof and a plug-in hybrid system delivering 442 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. Audi also had on its stand the redesigned SQ5 and A5 Cabriolet.
A hybrid model was noticeably absent when Lexus took the covers off its fifth-generation LS flagship sedan at last week’s 2017 Detroit auto show. The sole model was an LS 500 powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V-6 delivering 415 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque.

Last month, the first Chevrolet Bolt EV electric cars were sold in California's Silicon Valley.
In the waning months of 2016, no dramatic changes occurred in European plug-in electric car sales.
