I think this attitude reinforces my point - the market is flooded with over-specced vehicles. Despite what VW marketing folk have discovered, there are still people that want basic models with basic attributes.

Case in point - I want a manual mid-size wagon, preferably diesel. In the current market in Australia, there are next to no options available.
