    Volkswagen T-Roc Not Coming to the U.S.

      You can cross off the T-Roc from coming to the U.S.

    Late last week, Volkswagen unveiled the production T-Roc crossover. The subcompact crossover is based on the MQB platform and stands out with a stylish look and range of gas and diesel engines. Previously, we have reported that the T-Roc was under consideration for the U.S.. But a new report says the model is off the table for the time being.

    “The car is meant for Europe and China. The most compact model of the Volkswagen range for the U.S. remains Tiguan,” a Volkswagen source tells Automobile Magazine.

    No reason was given as to why the T-Roc would skip the U.S. But if we were to hazard a guess, it might be due to Volkswagen not being able to get the price low enough for the U.S. Only a couple of months ago , we reported that Volkswagen wasn't planning to bring over the Polo subcompact for the same reason.

    There was a rumor floating around a month or two ago that Volkswagen might do a different subcompact crossover for the U.S. Whether this happens or if Volkswagen decides to send the T-Roc to the U.S., we'll let you know.

    MISTAKE!   This is a decent looking little crossover, and it would probably outsell the Golf and Jetta if they brought it here. And VW wonders why their sales in the USA are terrible.

    So true, this would kill off their ultra small car sales and people would move to this. Gut tells me this also has to do with the crazy unions and it would kill off production of areas that would cause them to pay for no work. So scrap along with little sales on some work for the pay they have to do.

    Stupid decision by VW!

    It's unfortunate, but the writing for this was on the wall long ago. As soon as they announced production would be in Europe, this thing stood 0 chances of being imported here. This would have to be too low in price to be competitive, and it would not be feasible from a cost standpoint after transportation.

    Maybe we will see a variant produced here or in Mexico for our market. VW would be stupid to ignore this segment completely. The Tiguan is far too big and expensive to entice buyers of the subcompact class.

      The Greek farmers are getting down and dirty becoming violent for seemingly less reasons.  Not less reasons, for the same reasons americans should be getting down and dirty and almost violent.  americans have MORE content to become protesty and rioty than Greek farmers do.   https://www.reuters.com/business/environment/protesting-greek-farmers-disrupt-port-operations-nationwide-blockades-persist-2025-12-10/ VOLOS, Greece, Dec 10 (Reuters) - Dozens of Greek farmers disrupted operations at the regional port of Volos on Wednesday as part of a nationwide demonstration to protest delays in farm aid payments and high production costs. Farmers have deployed thousands of tractors and trucks in dozens of blockades for days, disrupting traffic at several junctures along major motorways and intermittently blocking border crossings as they face a shortfall of more than 600 million euros ($698.58 million) in European Union aid and other payments. The delays were prompted by investigations into a corruption scandal in which some farmers, aided by state employees, faked land ownership to qualify for payouts. Ongoing audits have slowed subsequent disbursements       Fraud, scandals, theft, lies.  Loss of revenue, theft of revenue.  CORRUPTION...   In Greece... Sound phoquing familiar?   And Greeks are fighting this as SOON as fraud, scandals, theft, lies.  Loss of revenue, theft of revenue.  CORRUPTION was revealed...     I guess this was uncovered at about summer time.    The usa has been under fraud, scandals, theft, lies.  Loss of revenue, theft of revenue.  CORRUPTION with trump SINCE 2016...  And NOTHING of a push back by americans...  From hush monies stolen from republican coffers to silence Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal to outright getting caught with lies about voter fraud and instigating an insurrection to flat out refusing to leave office to stealing classified documents to illegally firing judges and all other governmental employees such as generals and FBI leaders to paying off judges to throw out legal court cases against him to becoming a phoquing felon with 34 or so counts against him of being a bank fraudster to lying about eating the cats and the dogs to allowing the kentucky whiskey industry and soy bean industries go to hell... Where are the soy bean farmers protesting?  Twice they got burned by trump. Where are the employees of the whiskey industry protesting? Where are the truckers protesting? They also got burned twice by him? Where are the tourist industry employees?  They blame Canadians and view Canadians as the reason for their misery but also view Canadians as their saviours?  Why arent THEY protesting in the streets like Greek farmers are doing? I guess I shouldnt be reading too much into it... All is great in the good ole usofa...    Phoque the usa is all I have to say!!!   Especially when no american is willing to fight for his rights and freedoms...

      No One Got a Check, This country is too broke to afford giving out money to buy their silence. The administration is broke, this country is broke, there is no reason for any of what Idiot47 has done. From the giving away billions to useless defense contractors to paying to continually refurbish out dated military machines like tanks in California's high desert, the military has stated over and over it needs to get lighting fast and the old equipment is dead. So all the tanks, boats, everything that Idiot47 says makes us strong is actually bleeding America dry. 51% for sure of this country is dumber than nails, look around where Biden pushed for battery plants, new technology that would drive jobs and Idiot47 is tearing it down cause living in the 50's and 60's was the golden age for him. Corrupt Dirty Donald to the core.

      The black SUV in the last pic is a Rolls Royce Cullinan...definitely a Hollywood bling wagon for people with too much plastic surgery and money...maybe a Kardashian or Kardashian-adjacent.  That 80s Riv convertible is sweet as is the silver '62 Impala.
