Nice video of a well known car for eco modders.
As said before, with conventional materials and drivetrain it would have been somewhat more affordable. Ok, even with only a 2 cylinder diesel (or 3 cylinder of the shelf) it would have fallen victim of dieselgate. But why not a simple gasoline version.
Although VW also knows that the market for these types of cars is not very large. Probably not profitable enough. And it's just always about money. Car builders need to show more courage sometimes.
By making it exclusive with limited production numbers, it became a must-have for the rich, they sure made a little profit (or break even) but it's also advertising (see what we can).
