I like it!

Though with that being said, I do have a bias towards Volkswagens, particularly of that breed with a Golf VR6 sitting in the garage at my place of residence.

Always fancied a Scirocco, but they're difficult to come across.

I recall a Top Gear Episode where Richard Hammond named the 90's model Scirocco as a really wise choice for an investment car. I mentioned this post to my dad (who's an avid Volkswagen fan... string of GTI's, VR6 and R32 to his name) and he also said prices for older Scirocco's have gotten quite high the past few years... Maybe Hamster was right then?

I'm a VW fan, as a spotty teen I always wanted a VR6 Corrado, the Scirocco successor in the UK & Europe at the time:



However, I think I find this iteration a little generic in comparison (and definately blander than the concept) thus I don't feel it fulfils it's full potential, though I will definately reserve full judgement til I've seen it the flesh.

These are images I saw a while ago now of the production version:

Heya Nik.. That thing is HOT!

it looks like a RC car!! 1/10th scale haha,

Love it!

Always liked the Scirocco. VW Oz chickened out and never sold the model here.
This is the original model - basically a Golf with a sportier body.Then again this new one is that too

I like the fact that its a 2.0L Turbo FSI putting out 325Hp, its only front wheel drive but , it still won its class at the most recent Nurburgring 24 hour race.
End of this year start of next you will expect to see it on the dealers floors ...

Not sure which factory will produce it yet, I haven't heard... VW now have factories in Germany, Poland, South Africa, Slovakia and good ole Mexico.
It will be interesting to read some reviews on how it performs on the road.
