Why no Scirocco for the US?

VW has announced that the new Scirocco will not be coming to the US. Apparently they expect people to buy a GTI or an Audi A3/S3 instead.

As a former Scirocco owner (and current owner of an Audi wagon) I'd like them to know that I would buy the Scirocco, but probably wont buy a GTI or an A3, so they're denying me choice and most likely losing me as a customer for something small and sporty.

To me, an Audi is too expensive (as a second car for fun) and a Golf is too boxy, but, just like Goldilocks and the Three Bears, the Scirocco is JUST RIGHT. I am intrigued by the TwinCharger engine, I like the raked coupe looks and the price would probably be within reach. Please, VW USA, reconsider.
