The Scirocco seems like an amalgum of the above-mentioned cross-platform technique and the good-ol VW retro-refresh. It'll be interesting to see how the market takes it and how it shapes up next to the GTI.]]>Jun 15th 2006 9:29AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/15/report-volkswagen-scirocco-green-lighted/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/15/report-volkswagen-scirocco-green-lighted/Jun 15th 2006 9:41AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/15/report-volkswagen-scirocco-green-lighted/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/15/report-volkswagen-scirocco-green-lighted/Jun 15th 2006 9:48AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/15/report-volkswagen-scirocco-green-lighted/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/15/report-volkswagen-scirocco-green-lighted/Jun 15th 2006 10:10AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/15/report-volkswagen-scirocco-green-lighted/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/15/report-volkswagen-scirocco-green-lighted/Jun 15th 2006 10:11AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/15/report-volkswagen-scirocco-green-lighted/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/15/report-volkswagen-scirocco-green-lighted/Jun 15th 2006 10:44AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/15/report-volkswagen-scirocco-green-lighted/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/15/report-volkswagen-scirocco-green-lighted/Jun 15th 2006 10:51AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/15/report-volkswagen-scirocco-green-lighted/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/15/report-volkswagen-scirocco-green-lighted/

That's the young market segment that's attracted to a car like this, and VW needs to price to that segment, starting in the upper-teens and being nicely equipped for less than 25k US.

Let their Audi division chase BMW, and let VW be the people's car once again. It's a disappointing time to be a VW fan.]]>Jun 15th 2006 12:47PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/15/report-volkswagen-scirocco-green-lighted/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/15/report-volkswagen-scirocco-green-lighted/Jun 15th 2006 1:10PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/15/report-volkswagen-scirocco-green-lighted/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/15/report-volkswagen-scirocco-green-lighted/Jun 15th 2006 1:15PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/15/report-volkswagen-scirocco-green-lighted/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/15/report-volkswagen-scirocco-green-lighted/
Wow, "People's car" my A**. The Scion Tc is one of the best selling youth cars on the market, and doing stellar for the coupe segment. VW shoulda been targeting that. You're gonna have to be mighty self-concious to choose one of these over a 350Z, WRX, or even GTI.

And arent high prices what killed the Corrado anyway? ]]>Jun 15th 2006 1:53PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/15/report-volkswagen-scirocco-green-lighted/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/15/report-volkswagen-scirocco-green-lighted/
And why can't VAG sell an AWD platform sub $25k?!?!?! Subaru does it, they definitely should be able to. This new should start at ~$23k with the 2.0T AND AWD! Something like a 3.0 VR6 with AWD would be a nice higher end option, but only if it's ~ $27k. We don't NEED a 3.6L FSI with 300 horsies in a Scirocco. Send the .:R36 over here to fill that niche, please VAG? Listen to your fans (read: potential buyers) please?]]>Jun 15th 2006 1:59PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/15/report-volkswagen-scirocco-green-lighted/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/15/report-volkswagen-scirocco-green-lighted/Jun 15th 2006 1:59PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/15/report-volkswagen-scirocco-green-lighted/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/15/report-volkswagen-scirocco-green-lighted/Jun 15th 2006 3:03PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/15/report-volkswagen-scirocco-green-lighted/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/15/report-volkswagen-scirocco-green-lighted/Jun 15th 2006 3:37PM
