VX concept

[VXorado]

One of the reasons 2-door suvs are not popular in the US is because of the "chicken tax" which puts a 25% tarrif on imported 2-door suvs but not on 4-door suvs. In the US the 2-door evoque is about $5K more expensive than an equivalently equipped 4-door version - pay more, get less, no wonder it doesn't sell all that well.

What's the purpose of the chicken tax? Is it a low gas mileage/car pooling type of tax?
