WOLFSBURG, March 11 (Reuters) - Volkswagen

is conducting a "reality check" analysis over whether it should

still bring its CUPRA brand vehicles to the U.S. by 2030 as

previously planned, Volkswagen's chief executive said on

Tuesday.

"Our intention is still there... we want to make

U.S.-specific products. But of course we must not close our eyes

to what is happening in the USA," Oliver Blume said referring to

factors influencing their decision including the balance between

EV and combustion engine sales.
