Saw a new Scirocco on the road today...

…and liked it !

Checked one out in black down the local VW garage and thought it was nice, saw an electric blue one on the move later in the day and thought it was sweet. I want one.

for some reason id really like a pukey green one but at 30K, i doubt ill be signing on the dotted line any time soon!!

thats still a lot of money for a curvy golf!!!?!

Yeah - too pricey for me i'm afraid - they're nice though, I can certainly see the appeal, I think VW have done quite well with this car, granted it aint the original, nor will it come anywhere near to a Corrado, but yeah, I like it !

I know its a lot but to put it in perspective, for the price of the bottom end Phaeton you could buy a Scirocco with all the bells and whistles AND a Polo SE and still have a bit of change. for the price of the top spec Phaeton you could buy a top spec Scirocco and a top spec Golf GTI  and a Polo GTI!!!



Sorry got carried away with the car config toy on the vw web site!!  

I'm surprised you could tell the difference between all the new clone styled car we have today

yeah i've noticed that cars just don't have any soul anymore. my cars like a person to me gotta tell it to behave, caress it feed it its special juice…….. new cars are just lumps of metal with wheels.  

Good point…. I've prefer me old motors….. you can tell the difference between a Pug 205gti, a mk1 golf, renault 5 gt turbo, cortina….. now they're just all bubbles on wheels…  :dontknow:

Sorry but Punto Grande Abarth SS?

Yes please!

Saw a white on display at e38, was at my local VW dealership the other day and asked for a tour of their blue demo and I was very impressed! The interior is very well specced for a ?20k car; almost porsche level of quality i'd say!!! Well done VW for turning themselves around from making boring, uninspiring cars to this 8)

Not that im really taken by modern cars TBH, but if I was in the market for a ?20k hot hatch… But then again, the megane R26R would be a tough one to ignore :twisted:

Reminds me of the old shape fiat bravo

the new rocco doesnt look too dissimilar to an A3 from the rear corner.

You can still buy cars with personality. its just that they cost an absolute fortune!

Cars of a certain era always look similar, Model T and vintage austins and Morris's for example. These days with all the legal requirements (lighting, height of bumpers, CO2 emissions etc) and requirements of customers (economy, safety etc) mean that all manufacturers end up designing similar cars.

In the 70s the front of rwd Escorts and sporty Fiestas looked like the front of a MK1 and cars like the Talbot Horizon (remember them?) were almost the same shape a MK1 when everyone want a new fangled hatch back.

Practically every sporty car also had tartan pattern seats….. just like an S1 MK1 GTI

Another car from back in the day with twin front lamp appeal - alfasud. On the list for my dream garage. Nobody needs to mention the rust issues :-) i just remember the noise from the flat four boxer and twin forties ! :-)

i saw a squirrel today and so did my dog. she nearly had it, bloody tree rats. :twisted:  :twisted:  :twisted:

^^ Perhaps you should start a thread about your appreciation of squirrels in the GENERAL CHAT section, along with all the other GENERAL CHAT ey mate ?
