We spoke too soon when we said that the new VW Golf R Variant should come to the US – technically, it is, because it will be revealed at the LA Auto Show, but unfortunately, you cannot buy it.
Following the German firm’s announcement on the LA debut, we asked Volkswagen USA spokesman Mark Gillies if and when the high-performance estate will be offered in the States.
“There are no plans currently to sell the car in the U.S.” Gillies told Carscoops.
Figures; a European carmaker hosts the world premiere of a cool estate model on U.S. soil and then leaves us stone cold…what a tease.
