Volkswagen of course -- for -- the people's car.

That's -- holds quite a few people.

Its first three rogue crossover concept cross -- Jonathan Browning president CEO of Volkswagen of America.

You can't you -- without it there are thousands and it's the popular.

This is iridium Paul audible calls needs to be -- what we've we've got a great based on business today where it.

Three of the biggest fight segments of the jets but it's not sequence but this is a vehicle that -- One other of those Big Five segments here in the US senate variable a lot of oxygen concept but.

How close to realities and we're pretty sure we're gonna see this couple years played in -- -- is a concept that means we have made the decision yet to go into production but I think there's anybody conceding looks -- this -- -- his.

-- -- -- very well developed and it's very serious proposition so we're looking forward to getting the feedback from customers and dealers.

As to whether this would fit within our Brian here in the us you've got the ticket was.

Kind of a premium to grow SUV that was starts around 44000 dollars where would this fit in the Volkswagen line on the would this replace -- to -- I'm sorry that sort it out that this this was sit above the sequel on a lot of the sore right but it's a bigger -- -- are being.

I aimed squarely at the -- -- sent in the midsize segment here in the US -- -- we would be very impressive.

And that won't give ourselves an opportunity for growing distance this is belts -- you do.

Flexible platform -- -- they would we have some difficulty and QB architecture which essentially.

Very flexible separate funds that lasted to bring vehicles to -- from around the world but.

At the same time tell you -- -- specific market requirements and that's what you see here.

You've got that was not the US made it's not selling very well you.

To build anything else off of that level is that right now is sort of -- -- platform with a Volkswagen line.

Well when you look at part of destruction and North America we've got.

Released a video up on that topic of building subsidize -- and have a lot of infrastructure that's got a stepping up hydrogen bombs in Mexico tomorrow.

That means we've got quite a bit of a infrastructure and analyzes to billable vehicles also vessels -- components within the -- -- -- At I want to get into any specifics but we're putting in place so -- -- for a future growth this was designed with the Americans -- -- -- -- -- that it would be built on this side of the Atlantic if you would happen.

As we got a full Lucent and we need to build a very significant proportion.

Vehicles that -- in America.

Within the North American regions this this would be an obvious candidate.

If we might not decision to proceed to look at sourcing within the North American region that's -- for the type -- vehicle this is this particular one also.

That's very -- power trade.

You still.

Plug in hybrid.

Receive production activity -- -- -- -- it's expensive.

Proposition but extreme fuel economy -- right now I hear this discrimination -- what technologies capable of especially.

Linking hybrids diesels here.

All sorts of fuel economy of performance benefits.

He's challenged today it -- to the cost about whether customers will be next but really isn't a concept vehicle and showing some of the technology that could -- because there's so.

This design.

Language so that we'll see other -- It's coming and it's sort of what we're seeing now but.

Take it to the next level up and just behind this vehicle of the red vehicle is is what we couldn -- long cross your mind knots at the very sporty compact -- -- And it does give a signal of the design language that was going forward.

There tremendous presents tremendous stopped short of -- -- But a lot of emotion of those vehicles as well you know a lot of TV talk about -- votes cast votes away to bring back micro -- This is kind of a lot of us for the 21 century as the you know I made it -- it has that flexibility and I think that's one of the things that a lot of people associate with the market -- but.

Today it would certainly -- another another project -- not a great idea taxable -- this.

Maybe that's something we can talk about in the future.
