The VW presented in Geneva Motor Show a new compact SUV model in its original form, the T-ROC, while the CEO of the brand seem confident of success. According to the CEO of VW, Martin Winterkorn, the new prototype T-ROC is to increase the range of the German SUV brand, while feeling confident about his success, when he finally received the green light for production. More specifically, Winterkorn said he’s going to ask the public to view the original compact SUV model and if the respond has positive comments, which is almost sure, then they will build it. The same view about the future of T-ROC has the head of the development department of VW, Heinz-Jakob Neusser, since I believe that a crossover with the specific dimensions can magnetize several potential buyers worldwide.
