Default VW Scirocco to return?
From Germancarblog.com:
Auto Motor und Sport has an article about the successor of the VW Scirocco which shall see the light in 2008. The 2+2 seater with an extremely low roof line will be based on the VW Golf platform with a length of around 4.2 meters. The engine is coming from the VW Golf GT, also known as the supercharger with a turbo and a compressor, giving you 170 bho from just 1.4 liters. The base price is expected to be slightly over 20.000 Euro.

Why not the successor to the Corrado?

Corrado was more widely known for having a VR6(even though it was equipped with a 4 cyl. but it sucked)

The scirroco maybe has more "heritage" in Europe?

VW could never produce a car that looked as good as that concept art.

It would cost $30K though ... :whyme:
New VWs are too pricey.

Any new 2+2 coupes with lower roofs than are standard on today's bubble-sedans would be great. Even if they're from VW.
