VW Scirocco: A no-go for the US!

WHAT! Seems like VW has decided to not bring the much-anticipated VW Scirocco to the US. A sad day for all of us who wanted to get our hands on a copy. Hopefully this is not the final final decision.

The reason? Another two-door, Golf-based hatch would cannibalize sales of the GTI, and with American's apparent distaste for hatches, sales would be underwhelming.

Adrian Hallmark, executive veep at VW of America maintains that, "having six different coupes and hatchbacks would be crazy," which seems like sound logic.
