I took my Golf 2.5 up to my VW dealer in December for its annual inspection and service, and while there I went to peruse the Sportwagens. The dealer had none in stock except for the Alltrack model. When I asked a salesman about it, he said VW is no longer importing the regular Sportwagens to the USA, only the Alltracks.
Does anyone know if this is correct? When I checked the VW website, it still shows the Sportwagen as an available model, but the site only shows 2017 models. VW has lost me as a customer if it is only selling the Alltrack wagons. I've had my Golf for 5 years and planned to upgrade to a Sportwagen for my next car, but I would probably buy a proven Subaru Outback over a VW Alltrack if I was looking for an all wheel drive wagon. The Subaru is less expensive, more widely available, has a better resale value and it's been around for a long time.
