I saw it last night. I can't wait to see the specs on it. It be sweet if they put in an RS3 engine in this puppy.
So far this is the second VW I like other then the Eos.

That looks great. Front end says 'Mitsubishi' to me though.

Agreed, but if they had made the Scirocco a liftback like that it would have at least not been so close to the GTI/R32, and probably would have looked a lot better
A chop by CWW:
Would have fixed the proportions of the car immensely too. Also fixing things in the chop are thinner A pillars and the better front end. But oh well, will never have to deal with this production Scirocco here anyway

That chop makes it look like a high end luxury sport hatch, it is probrably something I could see myself driving.

There can only be One
I get this odd, love it but hate it feeling from it.
Like its ugly right, but only from the front.
Like a buttaface. You can stand looking it it from the front, but when she turns around, you want to gag.

No VW Scirocco for U.S. due to weak dollar
via motorauthority
Posted on Wednesday 5 March 2008
Volkswagen has consistently dismissed rumors the new Scirocco would be sold in North America and now the carmaker’s sales and marketing chief has confirmed the bad news. Despite the high level of interest in the car, VW has decided against selling the Scirocco in the world’s biggest car market because of the weak U.S. dollar against the strong euro.
“The exchange rate is the only reason for not selling it in the U.S.,'’ VW sales and marketing chief Detlef Wittig told Bloomberg reporters. “This car would fit the U.S. market but at the current exchange rate we wouldn’t make any money.'’ The Scirocco is manufactured in Palmela, Portugal, alongside the Eos convertible on which it’s based.
The dollar has fallen to an all-time low against the euro and with no sign of improving anytime soon VW, along with a number of other carmakers, is planning to open new manufacturing plants in North America. However, VW’s new U.S. plant will only be set up to build versions of the Jetta and a new compact sedan.
