Post by: Sugar79 on 17 December 2005, 13:41

I actually think the wheels look TOO big, or the whole car needs to be lowered somewhat to get it back in proportion.

I agree, deffinately needs to be much lower, the arches just dont seem to go high enough on the car. Its close to bein lovely but just not quite. :sad:

i think ita more of a new corrado than a scirocco, its not boxy enough to be a scirocco. I am not sure what i think of it really  :undecided:
Title: Re: the new scirocco
Post by: ...joe on 18 December 2005, 21:23
but the corrado was the successor to the scirocco and also compare a mk5 to a mk1/2 golf.....................

its just like vw calling the jetta a vento/bora etc when in the states its always been called a jetta.....

Post by: Neaty on 18 December 2005, 21:39
yea good point, but it just doesnt have any of the same lines as a scirocco and if they do decide to bring it out, it should really be called a corrado
Title: Re: the new scirocco
Post by: steviem on 19 December 2005, 12:40
I think the name Scirocco means more to VW and regardless of the look, it should be Scirocco, altho Karmann Ghia would be even better  :rolleyes:

I quite like it, gotta agree with the name tho, shouldnt be Corrado....there is only 1 Corrado...... :wink:

After all the Corrado was that good, they only did it for a few years!! :rolleyes:  :wink:

I think it looks pimp, and I would have one, especially de-chromed, dumped and running some 19" splits. I would photoshop it, but I ain't got a feckin' clue how to do it!!

Hang on, I've never seen an E plate Corrado, as the Scirroco was still in production in 88, I wouldn't have thought VW would be running the two cars simultaneously. And I had my head read.....thats why I got a mk2!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :nerd:

PS, VW did the Corrado (in the UK) from 89-96  :nerd: :nerd:  Still 7 years, but we all have our mishaps  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

They are going back because as well as this Scirocco they are bringing out a Jetta!

Personally I think it looks too much like a Focus!
But not bad.

If they made the corrado in 89, then the must of made them both at the same time as my rocco is 1990!

Cut and shut!! :laugh: :laugh:

Didn't know that they made the cars at the same time, seems a bit daft if one was to replace the other?

it is a bit daft like!

were corrado's made in wolfsburg?
Title: Re: the new scirocco
Post by: ...joe on 21 December 2005, 12:24
they were made at karmann i believe....
Title: Re: the new scirocco
Post by: Neaty on 21 December 2005, 12:37
i thought so, i was going to say that perhaps if one was at wolfsburg and one was built at karmann then they might of had orders to meet so carried on making the scirocco at karmann and had corrado at wolfsburg. Then that would explain why they were shortly made at the same time but seeing as tho they were made in the same place its quite odd!

sorry yes, i wasnt too specific there, the corrado was in production 88-95, and was indeed sold in the UK 89-96. The Corrado was indeed producedand sold along side the Scirocco as its "upmarket" brother. It was sold as a "Luxury Sports Coupe" i believe the official title was....

Oh and i wasnt implying that u needed your head read, I am personally a lover of all VW's, I mearly stated that anyone who didnt think the Corrado was any good has obviously never been in one, or read anyones reviews ever. And all Corrados were made at Karmann, hence the Karmann logos in the cars.
