Because the US market is seen as an unwanted stepchild. Same reason Xenon headlights are not available for most VWs. I saw a Honda CRV on a South African website with factory Xenons while NO Honda sold in the US is available with Xenons. Canadian VW TDIs have an auxiliary electric heater- not available in the US-not even in the northern US in a cold weather package.

Is it not coming to the USA or delayed for a year or so?
VW seems to wait a year or so before bring the new models to the USA. I can't imagine that a GTI will not be sold in the USA?

We're not willing to pay for well-built, well-equipped small cars. Your average American consumer would rather buy a less-equipped midsize sedan than a well-equipped compact sedan for $22k. The US market believes bigger = better, and that's not going to change and nor is the small car market. Learn to accept the fact.

I really liked the Saturn/Opel Astra when it was introduced for one year but it was pricey compared to other small cars like the Chevrolet Cobalt and the other Korean entries. I think the upcoming Ford Fiesta will be initially popular but I doubt it will be profitable after the initial batch of Fiestas are sold. And let's be honest, how many folks do you know, when given $26k, would rather buy a well-optioned midsize sedan or entry SUV versus a VW hatchback?
