Default 2009 VW Scirocco

Quote:
As we say in the biz, you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube, so you might as well squeeze out what's left. After two official images of the yet-to-debut 2009 Volkswagen Scirocco hit the web the other day, a couple of sites have decided just to publish the whole lot of pre-release images. There are seven in total now (VW will likely release dozens more after the car debuts in Geneva next week), including a pair of interior pics that show, surprise, surprise, a cockpit that appears remarkably similar to the one in the Golf and Jetta. Despite that, the deeply bolstered tan leather seats are stitched with a nifty retro pattern that makes us want to crank the cassette player to 11. There's more info about the 2009 Volkswagen Scirocco that we'd like to tell you, but it's embargoed until Monday. It's highly unlikely, however, that this tube of toothpaste won't be squeezed dry by then.

Sweet! This should be a fun car to drive. Nice wheels too!
I bet it'll surpass the Golf GTi in all standards..

This car is bulkier than the Golf. I hope they come up with an AWD 3.2litre just like the VW R32 it'll do more justice to the weight and bulk of this car than a mere FWD.

Hey guys our member Blueoyster owns the scirocco.

Not the latest but can be graded a classic one or maybe an old scirocco.
