Well, it's official, the upcoming
Volkswagen Scirocco will not be making an appearance in North American showrooms.
VW of America boss Stefan Jacoby told
Car and Driver magazine that there's no room for the
Scirocco here with the
GTI and
R32 already headlining the market segment for the automaker. In the same interview, Jacoby stated that what we
could see is a return of the
Phaeton, but this time with a
diesel underhood. That'd give the primo sedan a unique selling point, to be sure, but there's still no evidence to suggest that an oil-burner will suddenly lessen buyers' reluctance to part with big ducats on a VW-branded
luxury car.
