The Corrado returns

[samm_cvr6 0]

Looks very nice, they will have to pull out all the stops tho if it is to rei supreme, so any estimates on the price of the VR6 Rivo?

I'm sad to admit, but by the time it comes out, I would rather fork out on a 350Z or a Boxster S, but Im sure it will be a great car.

First pic i've seen of the prototype, not as cool looking as the rendering on the cover of autocar.

I really don't hope they bring out another Corrado...

looks like b6 passat crammed onto a mk5 golf chassis to try and make a coupe type thing! me no likey!

It sounds like they're having some problems with the roof - maybe they should have had a place that knows what they're doing make them... oooh I dunno, perhaps someone like Karmann :roll:

Didnt Lada have a car out called a riva?

Some more news on this one:

 

90% likely that it's going to be called a Mk3 Rocco ...

 

It's going to be built in Wolfsburg, NOT by Karmann in Osnabrück :cry: That's it then for me, that isn't a Rocco or a Rado :-(

 

Engine power: 140-280 bhp (the latter suggesting VR6 territory, i.e. heavy engine in probably heavy car :-( What happened to the 800 kg with a nice juicy roaring 100 bhp engine in the original Mk1 Rocco? That one probably has more bhp per kg than the new one :lol:).

 

More stuff in this thread (scroll down to the article copied from the Auto-Bild, yes the same peeps that goofed up with the recent Merc S-Class with assisted fog braking crash test :lol:): http://forum.rowi.net/read.php?f=2&i=105345&t=105345

Sorry to spoil the party lads but did anyone see this link - I think what you are on about is this?

I think what you are on about is this?

 

That link has been going round on a few forums, but it's not the one I'm referring to.

 

My sources are straight from Germany :-)

with appologies to whoever it was that scanned the original, heres a composite of the scans on the site Tempest is talking about. Theres a VERY familiar line running down the side of the car, I really like it just for that reason!

I just wish they'd call it a Corrado and not a Scirocco :(

[chrishill 0]

They're just doing the owners a favour, everyone (joe public) calls the corrado a scirocco anyway so it saves confusion.

Anfang 2008, Better get saving my Euros. Im liking the lines around the rear windows.

[biggrim 0]

Now that is nice!

If that actually comes to fruition and looks like that, then I'll probably be buying one. I love the structural integrity and handling of current VWs, so to have that and those looks would be perfect :-)

[dinkus 10]

Hmm, doesn't actually look too bad. A little lardy maybe, but if it's got a mentalist engine, it should sell well :)

 

I do like the rear quarters - I wonder if it has a nice hiney too? :lol:

[Henny 0]

wonder if I'll be able to swing one as my company car by then?!? If it's in RX8 territory then I should be able to! 8) 8) 8)

I wonder if it has a nice hiney too?

 

Good enough?

 

BTW: Trainspotters amongst you will ntocie the Mk1 Scirocco characteristic "ducks tail" rear spoiler, as well as the C-pillar and a few otherd esign aspects that were all first introduced on the Mk1 Rocco.

 

Hence it does NOT look like a Rado (as Rados themselves despite VWs numerous denials are styled after the original Mk1 Rocco), but more like a Mk1 Rocco.

Edit: pic thumbnailed ;) - dinkus

[Jim 2]

Well it is a nice piece of work - i'm surprised there is no mention of a V6 engined version yet though.

 

Unless they are gonna make a Scirocco R32 (or R36!) or something! :D

 

*edit* - lol - even my complete lack of German allows me to see that they write something about both of those engine types towards the end of the article! VW are so predictable sometimes! :)

[dinkus 10]

Ok, so it does look pretty good. I dunno though, I just can't get that excited about it. Maybe this is the problem the Corrado had? :lol:

[Walesy 0]

I like it....from behind.....not sure about the front view.....but I like th rear.

[dinkus 10]

Erm, slightly too much information... :?

[catch_twotwo 0]

Hmm... nice.

 

Although why they inisist on stick the word GTI on anything they think is sporty is stil lbeyond me. People take one look and know it's sporty, why rub it in....

[dinkus 10]

a GTI badge to me just says "sorry guys, it's just a Goof really"

Hell yes...heeeeeeeeellllll yes.
