WOLFSBURG -- Volkswagen may export its Scirocco sport coupe to the US after all. In March, VW said it would not sell the Scirocco there for fear it would take sales from the Golf GTI. The strong euro also was a factor. But prodding from enthusiasts and the Scirocco's popularity in Europe has VW executives rethinking that decision, said Steve Keyes, a company spokesman. The dollar's gain also doesn't hurt. "People are looking at: 'Would it make sense? What are the volumes?' and all that," Keyes said at a press event here last week. "There's no real decision yet," he added. Keyes also said the car may be positioned "a little bit differently." |
