Interesting the Yanks buy 6 times as many VW cars as we do but the mix is dramatically different, the Jetta makes 50% of their sales and the Golf 50 of Aus sales.

This almost highlights how far behind the Yanks are with car culture, in Aus it's taken us a while to embrace the hatch, but seems they haven't reached that point yet.

Americans HATE hatchbacks,they look down on them as being a utility kind of cheap run about,whereas a sedan is more elegant looking,but the boot also provides protection in a rear accident.
Since the A1 platform,the Jetta has been the top selling European nameplate in North America,being the US,Canada,and Mexico.
