Damn! Looks awesome. Might have to start saving the pennies and selling a few things...... Check out the number plate, Clever! http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/first_official_picture.php?sid=118&page=1 "Here is the new Scirocco, due in showrooms by 2008. VW may have billed it as a concept car, dubbed Iroc, but the missing ‘S’, ‘c’, ‘c’ and ‘o’ aren’t fooling us. Why else would the maker hold a special event in Berlin to show it? The maker says it’s to celebrate 30 years since the original Scirocco was launched. It’s even marked this by painting the concept in a very retro ‘70s metallic green, vivid enough to burn your retinas out. Smoke and mirrors. The squat, chunky stance is different to the original’s wedgey profile, more in line with the TT ‘Shooting Brake’ concept – but seems pretty much production-ready to us. The front grille hints at future VWs, we love the extra-wide windscreen, overlapping the A-pillars, and like the homage to the Golf with the C-pillar, too. Inside, it’s all architectural cool, with hints of the new TT (no bad thing). You can guess at the details: it’s probably based on the TT’s version of the Golf platform, will use a 2.0-litre turbo engine from the Golf GTI, plus maybe the 3.2-litre V6 from the Golf R32. However, VW also states the concept will use a supercharged/turbocharged 210bhp TSI engine; interesting, as the engineer at the Golf TSI’s launch told us the technology was only for smaller engines, which suffer from torque deficiencies. Is this a policy change, and does it mean the next Golf GTI will use TSI tech? Exciting. As for Scirocco prices, we’d bet on a starter of 22k. And are off now to put in our order." Taken from here.
I'll wait while Tempest reports back from seeing it for real. But I'll stick with my two MK1's as a V6 looks like it will be about 28000.00 ? at least... no thanks.
Looks ok, just a bit too much like the mk5 golf but stretched and squished and conceptified (yep, i just made up a word).
its nothing to shout about it, mayb i'd buy one seeing pics is one thing the real thing is sumfink else
What in gods name is that ment to be I dont no if im going to like that, all these new cars aint doin alot for me. I bought a proper mint mk3 4 months ago and am now selling to get another mk2. Maybe the older dubs are the best.
There's no nice way of putting this but I can see how they've taken styling from earlier rocco's. Because they've taken a golf chassis and put a nice sporty car on it. I like the dashboard, big air vents like the mk2 and 2 big dials infront of the steering wheel. Seats look low enough to look the part but not too sure about the level the rear spoiler is at. Keeping the glass below it is smart very useful for parking in a mk2 rocco.
Bit too Golf like at the rear for me but thankfully not half as ugly as the Corrado. It would have been nice to see a retro touch in the exterior/interior styling too - some small homage to the mk1.....
In a nutshell its poo looks nothing like a Rocco WTF, more like a slim Ford Focus yeuhhhhhhhhhhhh give me my Scala any day. I hate the new shaped cars they just look like blobs squeezed out of a tube yuk!!!
Check out the interior!! Did they raid a computer shop for all the neons?? All seems a bit chaved up corsa really.
