As for the small car, the Polo is a good choice, bring it here with the Polo GTI 1.4TSI and the 1.6TDI and you will have a car that will fight and beat out the competition like the chevy spark and other small cars I couldnt agree with Jay more, you could have some strong sales with the Amarok but it would be priced out of the market, now if VW was to bring it, it has one major advantage over any other midsize truck or even half ton full size trucks…Diesel power, but I still dont think it would be a good move to bring it here.

You can't but a childseat back there. In any case, it's also unsafe. I would never put my daughter 2 feet from the tailgate as in the Mazda 5. However, you need it to sell SUVs because people are buying these in lieu of minivans. Also I believe VW is getting rid of that Chysler van. So its a necessity now. VW needs something to compete with the Santa Fe, etc. Because when children evict owners from their GTI's they need something to get into that is not a van.

The 3rd rows are always nearly useless and are only for marketing reasons. VW is taking the more logical approach. If folks need more passenger room, select a larger vehicle, not a compromised smaller one. "...a car cheaper than the Jetta and Golf to battle the likes of the new Kia Rio and Hyundai Accent." Does VW need to lower it's market position with this type of vehicle? At the pricing required for the USA market, VW would be loosing money or the car would have to be far below usual VW standards in content and quality. Leave the marginal vehicles to the marginal companies. “….desperatly need a mid size SUV with a third row seat”

I'd prefer the Saviero over the too large Amarok. Up is the VW needed below the Jetta and Golf. I agree it would be nice to have the Polo. Problem is the current Jetta is positioned at too low of a price for the base models. Saviero is a vehicle that stands apart from trucks sold in USA and Canada.

However, they don't hold. I have to reset it everytime I select media. It SAYS "normal", but when I reselect normal the volumne goes up to what I would expect it to. Any idea why that is? Is it a bug in the 510 software? There are similar setting on my RNS-510 in my 09 EOS. However, they don’t hold. I have to reset it everytime I select media.
