Is Volkswagen Serious About the US?

Volkswagen is a great car company and has great cars. They have not just Volkswagen, but Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Seat, Skoda, and some truck companies. In the U.S. we don't get Seat or Skoda, which is a shame. Seat has the Leon and Altea, which are less expensive and larger versions of the Golf (called the Rabbit here) and the wonderful new Ibiza super mini. Skoda has the Octavia, an inexpensive sedan like Golf based hatchback. They also have a version of the new Passat with a hatch that also woks as a trunk lid, for a great price and there is a very practical and inexpensive MPV (a small minivan often with car doors) called the Roomster. Volkswagen sells very good cars here, the Passat has only the best engines it is available with, except the 170hp 2.0TDI. The Rabbit and Jetta are were Volkswagen is going wrong, the 170hp 2.5L-5 (was 150hp before 2008) is one of their worst engines. In Europe VW has a 140hp or 170hp 1.4L-4 with a turbocharger and a supercharger (called TSI) to get great gas mileage with great power, we need that engine here so the Rabbit will get better gas mileage than the GTI. They could also use their 150hp 2.0L-4 FSI if the TSI won't work. Volkswagen is finally bringing us a new diesel to replace the old 90hp 1.9TDI. We are getting a very good 140hp 2.0TDI that gives the Jetta over 40 MPG. That is a huge improvement, because Europe has that same engine with either 140hp or 170hp. Even with the GTI we only get the 200hp car, but Europe can have a 230hp GTI. We aren't getting the new Scirocco either, which is dumb, because the old one was good here and the Mini has been very successful here. In some of Europe there is a car called the Crossgolf with AWD and a higher ground clearance, like the very popular crossovers, but much more practical. Almost every car they sell or don't sell here needs more engines from Europe or need to be brought here.
