MK1Campaign 0 Posted June 10, 2006 Thats looks far better than i ever imagined. Lets hope it comes out looking like that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Furkz 0 Posted June 10, 2006 it will have smaller wheels and it wont be as low and it will be called the scirocco not the corrado Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy665 0 Posted June 10, 2006 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cymru-corrado 0 Posted June 10, 2006 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ice White Socks 0 Posted June 10, 2006 And I have a £500 deposit on one, Eh! you serious? How can dealers be taking deposits already :? I'm only askin cos I'll be after one of these myself :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
double-6s 0 Posted June 10, 2006 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 :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
double-6s 0 Posted June 10, 2006 I take it there's not a scirocco AND a Corrado coming out??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy665 0 Posted June 10, 2006 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
double-6s 0 Posted June 10, 2006 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! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy665 0 Posted June 10, 2006 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
double-6s 0 Posted June 10, 2006 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
double-6s 0 Posted June 10, 2006 Nope - I'm spouting poo again! :) Its just another artist's impression. That's a good thing - it looks pretty dull really. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cymru-corrado 0 Posted June 10, 2006 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.

double-6s 0 Posted June 10, 2006 The article in autocar does say its design is close to the EOS :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris VR6nos 0 Posted June 10, 2006 This is worth a quick read about the 2008 Scrocco Clicky Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy665 0 Posted June 11, 2006 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bojmobile 0 Posted June 11, 2006 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! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr Forinor 0 Posted June 11, 2006 I hope it doesnt look like that, that just looks like any other coupe that comes out now with the exception of the lights. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 2 Posted June 11, 2006 I think VW are losing it slowly.. look at some of the pics for 2008's VW lineup... http://www.germancarblog.com/2005/10/vw ... oming.html 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! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
