Even though Volkswagen still sells the GTI and the Golf R in the US, it’s been years since the car they’re based on has been on the market. VW dropped it from the American lineup at the end of 2021. One of the major reasons for it was the fact that VW still built the Golf in Germany, and the costs were making it hard to justify exporting them to the States. This was even before tariffs were imposed by the Trump Administration. However, that production issue is going away quite soon, and the CEO of VW’s American branch sounds open to the model’s return.
