Meanwhile the base version costs 39995€ here

Meanwhile the ID.3 is not even available in the US because "demand would be too low".

I just want hatchbacks not crossovers. I'm looking at an EV for my next car and hate that I might have to look like a crossover enjoyer. If I don't want a sedan.

And yet they want to release that Buzz here. I bet more people would buy the ID.3. They said they are going to release an electric GTI but how much you want to bet it won't even touch the US.

VWs truly losing my favor and that's a shame. I love my GTI but that's where it stops.

You’re not missing much. Until VW gets a grip on their software I wouldn’t touch any of their current models.

Baloney. I’ve been driving an ID.3 for 2.5 years and it’s the best car I’ve ever owned. The software certainly has been more than functional since 2.4, and 3.0 (in use now for a year) is really good.

EV's in the U. S are mostly a rich person flex item.

So? That's not too much money for a car

Galaxy brain take.

VW vehicles are overpriced everywhere. They need to do a cost analysis and reduce prices globally.
