And I have a £500 deposit on one, lots of artists impressions floating around. I have heard its pencilled in for a Feb 2008 launch, launch engines will be a 170 BHP 1.4 and a 230 BHP 2.0 turbo, both FWD with a 4WD 3.6 to follow. Likely to be built in Portugal alongside the Eosand priced about £2lk above the equivalent Golf

all i've heard through are dealer is that there IS a new scirocco lined up.

 

VW have gone back with a few names that did well sales wise ie the new Jetta and the Scirocco was a much better seller and known name than the Corrado so one of the reasons they bought it back.

its like when people call your rado a scirocco its cause they obv know the rocco brand and not the rado.

 

Dosent bother me would rather they never ever re-incarnate the Rado leave it have its own piece of history.

Well if you look in this week's autocar you'll see the new scirocco. And I'm afraid its a bit more 'conservative' than that pic! Engine line-up as Andy665 said above. 3.6 would be nice :)

 

Kinda like a Mk5 Golf with a roof-chop though. Yawn :(

No, just a "sporty" coupe - the deposit I paid is totally refundable if it does not get built but it guarantees me the first one at that dealer

Have you seen the pics in autocar mate?

 

I wasn't being that fair. Its ok. Nothing like a C but not bad. The 3.6 will go like sh*t off a shovel! :)

Its rumoured a concept will be shown before the end of the year, seen so many different artists impressions that I'll think I'll leave it until I see the real thing

I was under the impression that the pics in autocar were pics not artists impressions? Could be wrong but I don't recall any mention of it not being the real thing.

 

Just gonna see if I can find it.

Nope - I'm spouting poo again! :)

 

Its just another artist's impression. That's a good thing - it looks pretty dull really.

hope they do a better job on it than the EOS,

 

at the end of the day an EOS is a MK2 Corrado, Golf upfront, Passat in the rear, yet it could pass for a 3 door jetta with the roof down and has none of the uniqueness and presence of a Corrado.

The Eos is a lot better looking in the metal than in photos, not a stunner but the best looking of the current crop of coupe convertibles

I saw one yesterday in Salzburg airport - looks good up to the end of the door in my opinion - bit funky at the back but then all the CCs are like that - stupid name though!

I think VW are losing it slowly.. look at some of the pics for 2008's VW lineup...

Scirocco: so so...

Ragster: er...

Golf: Meet the new boss.. same as the old boss

Phaeton: Who you gonna call...

Polo Eco: Does what it says on the tin..

Sharan: Guess you can only do so much with the MPV.. looks ok tho!

Marrakesh: Great.. another SUV

CrossFox: Doubt it'll be better than the Fiat Panda 4x4.. and bet it will cost more!
