The U.S. Scirocco a No-go Because the Dollar is a No-Show

Or something like that.

Leftlane News reports that VW marketing has cited a weak U.S. dollar as being the “only reason” that the Scirocco will not be coming to America (I know, I just thought of Eddie Murphy too). Man, is the economy bad enough to keep VW, a brand that has struggled stateside, from bringing this hotness over here?

At any rate, we can only hope that VW will wise up and build a U.S. plant to make the possibility more realistic. Until then (or until the economy rebounds), it looks like the will have to sit on the sidelines on this one.
