BlueSport not Off Table

摘要

Wolfsburg, GERMANY- Volkswagen hasn't spiked plans for its mid-engine, two-seat sports car based on the BlueSport concept, though it remains a hard sell.The business case hinges on demand for the segment, VW product development chief Ulrich Hackenberg tells us in an exclusive interview. Mazda sold just 16,582 MX-5 Miatas worldwide in 2011, and 5674 of them came to the U.S. We spoke with Hackenberg at VW headquarters recently about a variety of North American-centric models, from a large SUV to the proliferation of hybrids.
