It would be great if they would even bring at $25k car here to North America.

Or you could thank Chinese subsidies and forced labor.

If US politicians spent more time pressuring their national auto makers instead of putting sanctions on Chinese auto makers to artificially put up the prices so overpriced nationally made cars could compete in price, you would have lots.

Does it still have ass-tier physical interface (touch buttons on the steering wheel, and no physical buttons or knobs anywhere in the cabin)? If so: who cares?

VW indicated they’d go back to physical buttons due to consumer and reviewer feedback. Not sure if that already happened but they seem to be listening.

Don’t think they have a choice. They’re trading wholly on the volkswagen name. China are producing EVs that are seemingly as good, come with access to a super charger network and will likely have self-driving access. It’s a case of more choice means lower prices.
