    Why can't we have this again? Oh, I know because VW is going to give it AWD and 300hp then let us have it right?......rIght?.......please.

    @Picarso: Hmmm, take a semi-portly sports coupe and turn it into an expensive, even portlier sports coupe? Didn't work so well with the R32, and with current pricing a 300hp Scirocco would probably cost between $35-40,000. Quite a difference than the base "same price as a GTI" that you can get in the UK. I say keep it FWD, keep it a nicely tuned 2.0t, and offer it within a grand of the GTI. Where do I send my vote?

    @IH_kumicho: Worked very well with the first R32. Just because they bollocksed up the second version of it doesn't mean it's not a feasible concept. I still have hope.

    I know it's not "cool" to like the Scirocco, but I love it. I absolutely love it. I, for one, think they should scrap the two-door GTI altogether and just keep this. But then, I'm biased.


    Now. 3.2L VR6 and Haldex, please. KTHXBAI.

    @joshman - repeatedly clicking expand all: 3.2 VR6, all-wheel drive Scirocco?


    Yes. Immediately, and today, with no reservations whatsoever. Hell, give me over 300 horses (to offset the rather startling weight gains in the past two generations), and bring it over, and I'll seriously consider it, regardless of the engine.

    This car is NOT planned for production,possibly an R20T planned with 245bhp Audi A3 engine. Intended to take over from R32.

    Does it come with a swiveling driver's seat, so you can switch sides mid-trip? Or rope headliners and drop floorpan option?

    And tomorrow, Lamborghini will release a special-edition Gallardo painted in a historically significant ass-engined Nazi slot car paint scheme.
