    Volkswagen's Future U.S. Lineup Includes More Crossovers

      They haven't forgotten about sedans however

    Volkswagen recently held an event for journalists and investors to talk about the upcoming Jetta. But the company also gave a preview of their product plans for the near future. According to Autoblog, those plans include two new crossovers.

    The first will be a five-seat model that will slot between the Tiguan and Atlas. Volkswagen North America CEO President and CEO Hinrich Woebcken described it as 'coupe-like'. We're assuming this model will compete with the likes of the Ford Edge and Nissan Murano. The second will slot below the long-wheelbase Tiguan (what we get in the U.S.). This could either be the short-wheelbase Tiguan or a new model that was hinted by Volkswagen's director of development, Dr. Frank Welsch back in September.

    It comes as no surprise that Volkswagen is planning to expand their crossover offerings. During his presentation, Woebcken showed that light truck sales increased a whopping 51 percent year-to-date, compared to 1 percent for car sales.

    Still, Volkswagen is planning to walk away from sedans just yet. 2018 will see the new Jetta and launches of the Arteon and Passat GT. Down the road, Volkswagen will introduce a new Jetta GLI and redesigned Passat.

    Is there too big a space between the Cruze and Malibu?  Ford plans on offering Focus, Fusion and Mustang as their only cars.  Golf is a classic VW so it stays and Jetta and Passat is all the sedans they need.  They are building that Aerton thing but it will be a sales bust.  I don’t really think they need the Beetle, the current one isn’t the cheap entry level car the original Beetle was, the Polo is now that.

      Chevrolet News:2027 Chevrolet Bolt is Back Under $30,000

      Still am. Unfortunately though, many Americans, in BLUE states, blue states on the BORDER of US and Canada, INCLUDING New York AND Michigan, but we will stick to Michigan since I agree, we must put other politics away of it does NOT pertain to the automobile industry... Michiganders WORKING at GM, Ford and Chrysler factories, most of these factory workers have BOUGHT INTO the rhetoric that Canada is bad.   So...Ill adopt Chinese EVs.  Its for the GREATER good for MY country. Like I stated before, with friends like Americans, who needs enemies? Ill take my chances with the Chinese.  And Chinese EVs in 2025 are on par, or maybe even better than, anything that comes out of Detroit.

      She was an Amazing woman, from an era departed, really from a country departed. We will see what, if anything will rise from the ashes of American democracy. Just watched the movie House of Dynamite. No guarantee that everything doesn't end up as ash....

      While the gentleman from St Louis and the gentleman from Montreal sling dog feces at each other on the forum, America continues to decline, including American brands like Dodge and Chrysler, as well as Jeep.  Multiple reasons my next car will be a Subaru or a Mazda, Toyota maybe.  Although the Ranger has been excellent, just hit 121 K.  There isn't much fighting for it at this point. ITs sort of like the world trade center after it got hit by a fully fueled Boeing, what has happened will lead to an inevitable (and spectacular collapse.) Rather than a short term temper tantrum on the part of both of you, perhaps we can just rationally conclude that any special relationship the two countries had is now over.

      Understandable. I aint asking you to hate your country.  I AM asking you though to FIGHT for your country.  You cant blame me for hating on your country.    If any American cannot see why Canadians are choosing hate for  the US, well, it makes Canadians hate on America even MORE...
