Not yet... maybe?
http://www.autoblog.com/2010/02/12/what-would-a-new-vw-corrado-look-like-patrick-moczarsky-thinks/

If it was to look like that I think it would be the nicest looking VW released since they stopped producing the first Corrado!

Edit: On further inspection, the white one in that link reminds me of a Civic type R... Hmmmm.....

Mk1 Scirroco The car that VW wanted people to forget, as it was an expensive rot box!

(http://website.lineone.net/~dr.dub/silverts800.jpg)

Mk2 Scirocco Still expensive, but lasted a little longer

(http://website.lineone.net/~dr.dub/acbro800.jpg)

Mk3 Scirocco, But for some reason VW wanted it known as the Mk2, which was OK, until you tried to order parts, it all got very confusing :grin:

I'm sure the love will return with some money.

I like volksrods. Campers are annoying and splitties are overpriced. Our bay is now valued at 10k and its a late model. Stupid world.
