There’s no excuse not to sell it in the US.

Trump's tariff war is a great reason not to sell anything here. Why bother sending all that bulky inventory here if any profit margin they make is taken from them? Increase the price and it is no longer affordable.

Even with a tarriff, a $20k car would still be cheap. There are also no tariffs on goods from the EU (yet) or you could just (god forbid) build them here in the US.

I dunno why they wouldn’t sell them in Canada or Mexico either.

Nope, because every damn VW dealership will mark it up to stupid levels. If they can’t make money suckering you in for maintenance, they are going to take it off the top. Hell, right now there suing because VAG is trying a different approach for Scout sales.
