Wow, the pix immediately above are pretty trick. It's reminiscent of a Benzo though, it looks nice and if VW keeps styling these cars as they are doing, I may have to go back to my roots. Air Cooled VWs....and this new breed of VWs will be my first water cooled execpt from my toaster. Peace!

I had a 93 Corrado VR6. Nice car, well engineered, great performance but reliability SUCKED!

Not sure I wanna go back to a VW (Virtually Worthless)

I agree w/ that for some reason since most of the water cooled cars are front wheel drive now, there's power but just not the suspension to totally hook up on the track or even at the local race spots.

automobile magazine has a picture of the back end of the 2008 scirocco. according to the article, the new beauty will be boasting super & turbo charge and also possibly 300 hp. now if only my lovely 87 Scirocco hadn't died i wouldn't have to wait until 2008...sigh.
