Well, I would have thought the production model couldn't possibly look worse than the prototype. Guess I was wrong.
What's that? A Golf 5 chassis with a Honda CRX body?

Ahh, come on. This looks nothing like a CRX.

Every time I look at it, I like it even more. The sweep of the A-pillar into the roof, the rear window and sweep of the D-pillar, the rear hatch area and tailights, the front... Everything.

This it the first VW product (non Audi) in a while that makes me say "Now THAT is something I would buy."

VW needs to sell this car in the US. I'd probably buy one, that's for sure.

Can't say I hate it, but it could be worse. But I don't really see a Scirroco in it. Looks more like a stretched Golf/Rabbit.

They should sell that here, as the GTI.... Make Rabbits and Golfs one style of hatch, the GTI another... I see more GTI in there than I do Scirocco...

Does the windshield extend back into the roof there? Thats pretty cool...

So it's a GTI with a lower roofline? I wouldn't be willing to pay a premium over the price if a GTI for this.

I like it. It's one angry, pissed off looking little car. If they'd replace our 3-door GTI with this, I'd buy one.

Its much more than that. The body is all new, and the interior most likely. The chassis will be much more sporty as well. Its you know, a coupe.

It seems lately that Motor Authority is the first to pull the trigger too. I'm surprised the manufacturers keep these guys (blogs) in the loop.

So, will this get 28 pages like the Croutan thread?

In other words it's a preview of what we'll see in the MkVI GTI.

I do know that the main difference between this and GTI is the production volume - VW has said they plan to build about 25,000 per year in Portugal.

Nay, the only way the new Scirroco could get to 28 pages is if it were a rebadged 2 door Dodge Caliber!
