Had the production model used the Polo platform, maybe it wouldn't be available in the U.S. because Volkswagen didn't really care about federalizing this platform. Well, nowadays that sedans which would be classified as a subcompact in the U.S. such as the present-day Volkswagen Virtus are about the same size of previous generations of the Jetta, it does surprise me that Volkswagen doesn't even try to offer it there. Well, in fact it could be conceptually closer to the original Beetle's purpose (not so close when it comes to off-road ability) than the New Beetle...
