"Cars like RCZ and CC I love, but don't sell anywhere else in the world and also we neglected the rest of the range : 207, 307 not good enough.

These things go round in cycles. There used to be hatch back and saloon versions of mid range cars, then they cut back. Then they added MPVs, then mini MPVs then not so off roaders. Maybe there are too many niches and it's time to cut back.

cutting back and keeping it simple is what will always work, i fear offering too many models can backfire on them

VW can do that because they use their platforms across the range on a variety of brands - scoda, audi, seat and VW and vehicles - Octavia, golf, leon, A3.
