It's not just North America

VAG is set to kill off and not replace the VW up! / Seat Mii / Skoda Citigo triplets - the smallest cars in each of these manufacturer's ranges.

No replacements
That is if you don't count the newer, taller, heavier (mini-)SUVs they're pumping out
Every tradition car-size, has gotten an SUV-ed offspring
Their number of car models models have become utterly ridiculous

Small cars get too expensive due to the EU requirements, according to VAG ...

Well, halve your model range and split development, marketing, spareparts, training, specific manufacturing cost over twice as many cars, maybe ?
Make it easier on the customer to choose one ...

Small cars should be the easiest to achieve the EU Fuel Efficiency requirements with !
