"Today, Volkswagen excels in markets with either a strong demand for small city cars or high-end luxury cars. In North America, the demand for both those cars is small, and Volkswagen is acutely feeling the pressure. The American marketplace is unique to the rest of the world, and Volkswagen’s inability to gauge the demands of the world’s second largest auto market is one of the company’s few glaring flaws."

Bingo.
