I'd hit it.

[tuzinski]

looks nice but over done

[auzvectra]

yeah looks good, but the front bar needs 1 less vent near the fogs, the headlights look crap flowing into the grill like that, and the c pillar needs to flow into the rear 1/4 more, not look so much like a beetle gaurd :p
haha, my 2 cents, neva know might grow on me ;).

[GreyRex]

I like it, probably because it's different

[glider]

on top gear they pronounced it sher-rocco

nice car

[imay]

Very nice looking VeeDub . . . however I'd pass on the Kermit green and go for either pearlescent white or black. Really don't understand the current trend for producing concept cars in outlandish/garish colors (Focus ST, Fiesta, etc. of late).

Ide drive one for sure !

[Wraith]

Yep, seen this, IMHO very nice...pity at this stage VW Aust. has NO intention of bringing the Scirocco to Aust :(

The hotter versions of this car have alot of Audi influence both in the styling and running gear...

There's going to be a sports variant released next year which has the same running gear as the new S3, which is almost the same as the new TTS...

Here in Aust. best we'll get is a GTi-R version of the Golf GTi MK6...it too will have the same running gear (188kw/320nm and Haldex 4 AWD) of the S3 - re-map alone can bump this up to 240kw/450nm :) that'll be one wild/fast/quick Golf :eek:

It's all marketing hype designed to grab attention Ian, for initial release of new cars/concepts...

Agree in white or black it'd look hot !!! :)

since green is my favourite colour i unfortunately cant say no to the green.
I just love the look of the car because its so different.

[Taffy]

Love these cars ! I always wanted one of the older style ones ... very Delorean-ish

[glider]

heres the standard one in white:

Thanks Glider . . . that's what I'm talkin' 'bout! That is gorgeous! I'd have one tomorrow IF they brought them over here. VW Aust don't want them because they believe they would steal too many Golf GTi sales. Probably right too!

[Jerram]

lol good to hightlight the "iroc" part.

Though to me it's much more a South African saying "Iraq"

nice,
the base or sported up models

[lee683]

think they were just base models.

there was a VW dealership up the road where i was staying in london. walked past a few times at nite trying to see one but they were locked up inside

[btm]

not a fan of the dark wheels, but other than that, HOT!

Agree, in fact IMHO the base model looks better than those other 2 'done up' ones in pics above...

I'm with Ian, I'd have a one in a heartbeat and in white if VW Aust. ever decided to bring em in...

[Neeko]

i still like base model the best too.

i had a good look at the new golf today and really like it. hasnt got a happy face, nice an evil rather :P

That's what I'm going to do too as soon as I get the chance, check out the new Mk6 Golf.

Pity we'll have to wait till about mid next year to get the really 'juicey' variants...

- 2.0ltr twin turbo diesel with 150+kw and
- 2.0ltr petrol turbo with 195kw and AWD (same/similar engine and drivetrain as S3 and TTS)

Either one of those 2 models would be highly desirable, however pricing should be interesting...
