Has anyone of European Owners seen a VW T-Cross ?
Looks like same formula in car design to the Venue; even some elements are very similar.
Not available in the North American Market.

Wow, it sure does look similar! Sincerest form of flattery and all that!

It's such a similar size and design, I wonder if it's based on a world platform shared among many co's? Though I doubt it -- it lists a bunch of other related brands but not Hyundai or Kia.

My mom's 2014 Jeep Patriot is a world platform -- Hyundai/Kia/Mitsubishi/Jeep/Dodge alliance. Same basic engine design too (2.4 liter 4 banger) though different heads I think. A week after my mom bought her new Patriot, my aunt bought a new Kia Sportage. I noted that the 2 cars were of the same platform/basic engine design. No one cared. lol. The Patriot sure looks better than that era Sportage.

I've owned many sub-compact cars. They all had 11.9 gallon gas tanks. I thought that was a strange coincidence.
