Not a huge fan of its looks...but it looks pretty mean going around the carousel.

i like it.. but $40k in Europe? they'd have to price it inline w/ GTI for me to even consider....

It looks like a "smushed" Golf with a fat a$$. Maybe the looks will grow on me, but IDK

all(over)road

Many Scirocco owners and I cringe at this latest Civic-coupe-like abortion. VW and Europe can keep it, especially with that price tag.


An OK car by todays (lower) standards I guess; they should have called it something other than a Scirocco tho. There is nothing other than the name to reckon back to the good ole days of the MkI and IIs built by hand at the Karmann factory.

Quattro or bust?

The weight of 2,800 lbs + 2.0T + Quattro would make this the most sexiest beast on the entire planet for the tuner world.

Maybe things to come for the A3 / S3 / RS3 with the wider / lower stance

Don't like the rear haunches.

just wish it weren't FWD.

GTI + Volvo C30 love child.
