    Thank goodness they’re seeing sense. We have the golf, we have the polo… Use them ! Why the need for new special EVs

      I don’t thin this a new idea- There was always the expectation they’d eventually fold the id. electric line into the traditional models.

      They needed some scheme to run parallel model lines, because VW went for a dedicated BEV platform after the e-Golf and e-up. That difference go away sooner than later.

      I believe VW is the only mass-brand that has - or will soon have- a “thoroughbred BEV” equivalent to their entire ICE lineup.

      Because EV on the platform meant for ICE isn’t optimal. It’s ok that they are “special” a.k.a. based on the platform meant for electric power, they should just stop screwing with the different names because all they do with that is confuse customers.
