haha, true... Some of the calls i get here at the office, i wish i could record them and play them back for you guys... They struggle to make 250whp with massive turbos slapped on. They ask what they need to do, sometimes i wanna say "Buy a Corvette"...

Fixed your typo for you. They are probably correct, in that Americans won't pay much for a hatchback.

Is it AWD? Is it RWD?

I am done with that "kid stuff" FWD.

VWoA won't sell the scirroco because they feel it will gut sales of the GTI. VWoA has always hated the scirroco and to a lessor extent the corrado ( the corrado was priced higher, so it was not a threat to the golf/gti)

VWoA needs to get their collective heads out of their ass

I'd actually agree with VWoA; how many not-inexpensive hot hatches from VW does America really want?

+1

Not that I wouldn't mind seeing the car come to the US, but I can understand why it's not.
