I'm not sure what VW is really planning or if VW of America is brain = dead.  If you ever go to Germany there is a lot of really interesting VWs that = would sell well here if given a chance.
 
-    Caddy    Small sized pickup = with an open or enclosed bed
-    = Polo        Same size as a Rabbit
-    = Lupo        Same size as a Spring with 3L per 100km fuel consumption
 
The T4 or Eurovan pickup would be another good seller here... WAY more = practical than a F-250!

Let's just think about this one for a moment!  = Wouldn't you want to have this in your driveway?  I have a client who is just = bugging me to find a way to get a 4Motion 1.8T Sharan to Canada ( impossible by = the way ).  I admit the T4 (Eurovan) is a nice van but the Sharan is a = lot cheaper (at $27,800 USD) and in a lot of ways better as a people = hauler which is the main reason why people buy these things.  I think = this would put a huge dent in Chrysler's Caravan sales.  The Sharan = is actually a joint venture between Ford and Volkswagen - the Ford = Galaxy is the same vehicle.  Seat also make a version of this as well.
