Hatchbacks have a tough time in the U.S., and the base Golf is a good example. The latest generation is only available in sporty GTI and R trim, with Volkswagen choosing to focus on the Taos crossover instead. What a shame. The entry-level Golf’s Canadian sales were about a third of the units sold in the U.S. We particularly miss the family-friendly Alltrack (pictured above) and SportWagen variants.
