Default 2008 VW Scirocco <3 <3

This actually really makes me miss my old Scirocco and Corrados.. RIP dudes. (Even tho they were POS's most of the time.. they were still bada$$).

Check out this spy shot of the 2008 Scirocco. Good stuff. Can see a lot of the old cars reincarnated in this.

The question would be... is it going to be sold in the US?

I quickly tried to find a pic of the back end and interior, but no luck, it looks really nice up front though!

My guess would be yes.. it's going to based on the Golf platform, be in the $20-25k (US dollar) range, and I first saw something on it in MotorTrend last month.

I can't say I know for sure, but early signs are pointing to yes. I'll see if I can find any other useful info pertaining to its sale in the US.

My question is: Does it have RWD/AWD and 200+hp??

If the answer is yes than I'll go down to the VW dealer and put my name on the list today.

Yeah, I suspected as much. I'm kinda hoping for a 2.0T AWD model. As badass as the "R36" will probably be, I wouldn't swing that much money for it, even if it looked like this. And after buying my WRX, I just don't think i can ever go back to FWD, even with the promised "Launch Assist". The 2.0T is a great little engine and it can easily be tuned to 280hp/300+tq. I shudder to think how much a 3.6 liter V-6 AWD version would weigh. The 2.0T FWD GTI already weighs more than my WRX!

i don't believe they would. the corrado replaced the scirocco. but this should be a corrado or give it a new name. but i like it.

was it like this one?






EDIT::: It does appear that the red photos (first post up top) are what the 2008 Scirocco is going to look like. Thank god. It's supposedly debuting the first half of 2008.. which means it may be late 2008-early 2009 before we see it out here?
