Nope, the 5 million is US sales. Worldwide sales were upwards of 20 million.

If it wasn't a niche in the States then everyone would have one...

Well, you could apply that same argument to every car model.

Er, VW Rabbit (US) = VW Golf (Europe) - its the same car.

Maybe, maybe not. IIRC (I'm not a VW expert) the Golf is an ongoing name, with model changes through the years. If I'm not mistaken, the Rabbit in the US was the Golf Mark 1. And again, I'm just going by memory, but IIRC it was popular here mostly because of the Cabriolet version, which was one of the few convertibles available at the time.
