New Scirocco On The 'Ring

Re: New Scirocco On The 'Ring

Undecided still at this point, the US dealers are telling VW they do not want it as it will hurt GTI sales, however VW has said the final decision will be made by the big guys in Germany.

That doesnt make sense to me, if your running a company and you have two products creating 'fake' competition between the two, persumably you will likely sell enough of each that in no way are you hurt by having a second alternative. Isnt the bottom line the same, whether you sell more rocco's n less gtis, than if you only sold gtis?

Latest Scirocco info

Volkswagen’s Scirocco will only come with force-fed measures. VW is working around the clock to prepare the car for its first public appearance at the upcoming Geneva International Motor Show. From there it will do the rounds including to shows like Paris in September and Auto Africa in Johannesburg this October. The two turbo engines to play hero in the lightweight sports car are the 1.4-litre TSI of 122 bhp/ 91kW and a TDI choice. Small turbo engines are currently the most sensible to use as they are light, yet powerful and somewhat economical compared to the bigger powerblocks.

Seven-speed DSG transmission is the logical cog to pick, because it allows for super quick changes in both automatic and semi-automatic. During heavy traffic instances it’s smooth, yet still responsive when situations change.

Expect some body-hugging sport seats, not dissimilar to the ones offered in the RS 4, RS 6 and S3, but more compact. A panoramic roof is an option for those akin to checking out the skies while they drive at 200km/h. ESP will be standard so there’s very little to fear at that level.
