Hell, the base FWD 200 hp 2.0T Audi TT is faster than the 333 hp E46 M3 on Top Gear's test track. This Scirocco is lighter, wider, and lower than a TT, so it'll be able to carry even higher speeds through corners -- it's probably just shy of Cayman territory in terms of agility.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chase]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 17th 2008 7:32PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/17/vw-prices-scirocco-for-uk-new-pics/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/17/vw-prices-scirocco-for-uk-new-pics/</guid><description><![CDATA[This is a sweet looking car, to bad we won't get it in the states.

Going to the 2.0T would probably put it closer to the 25k mark. Still worth it in my book.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[John Johnson]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 17th 2008 9:29AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
