Probably won't come to the US, I'd imagine.

VW boss asked about that towards end of video, said Euro only for now.

Looks fine, honestly, if they can actually deliver on what they promised and don't make everything insanely expensive extras. like the charging speed and stuff like that. but i was thinking: why FWD and why so much power. for a car like that? doesn't mix well, either, but I guess the tire manufacturer will be happy about it
also: if they don't finally get their shit together regarding their software... ugh.

"The decision to switch the platform to front-wheel-drive was to maximise the space available for luggage, enabling that large boot."
I'd think the driving dynamics are also a factor, to make it more predictable to the average river, but I agree with you on the power. I feel like EVs are in a power and range pissing match, and this is so misguided, but alas.

I didn't know Polo drivers were that bad.


I like the look of it, hope it's decent and I get try one when it comes out.
