Developing a vehicle for the American market will be as successful as the new Malibu. People don't want slopmobiles! VW’s only selling point is that it DOES NOT drive like American vehicles.

Look at the fender to headlight line and the door profiles - still the same jetta not selling from dealers right now.

But that's probably because there's no chrome to be found. And if it's powered by the 2.5 Litre Inline-5, then it's most likely destined for the NA market. VW can't pawn that POS engine off on any other countries besides the US and Canada. Whatever it is, it’s a nice looking front end. But that’s probably because there’s no chrome to be found.
