By Andreas Cremer BERLIN (Reuters) – The departure of Volkswagen's U.S. boss is a blow to the carmaker's attempts to revive sales after its emissions test cheating scandal, but should not disrupt its efforts to strike a deal with U.S. regulators, analysts and sources told Reuters. Michael Horn, whose surprise departure from the helm of Volkswagen Group of America was announced late on Wednesday, was not on the teams negotiating with U.S. regulators over a fix for almost 600,000 vehicles found to be emitting up for 40 times the legal limit of pollutants, sources close to the matter said. “VW has its back to the wall, Horn's departure is happening at the most inconvenient time,” said Arndt Ellinghorst, an analyst at banking advisory firm Evercore ISI.
