Not a shocker given VWs recent financial issues (and continued financial bleeding in the USA) they talked months ago about doing some major scaling back of their models they offer, and since sedans/4 doors consistently sell in much higher numbers than coupes/2 doors it makes sense they'd cut it. The 2 door golf was always a weird bit anyway. If VW wanted to do a successful 2 door sport model they shouldve brought the scirocco over years ago (so much better looking). Same goes for the kia forte koup, i think they should just replace it with the 3 door pro ceed from Europe (same engines, platform, way better looking and more versatile than a coupe w/ trunk).It looks like shift to 5 door hatches is a trend that will continue. VW just announced this today.

The two-door Volkswagen GTI is dead, we learned at the brand’s full-line launch event today. Production of the model has ended, VW confirmed upon our inquiry: “The trend is clearly shifting toward four-door models,” said Volkswagen of America’s marketing chief, Hendrik Muth.
