I've got to agree with AdamB here, the Corrado is probably one of the nicest looking cars that VW ever produced I could just never understand why they stopped production of it.  :undecided:

Gibby -
I think VW stopped production because they regarded the Corrado as a sales flop, which may explain why it has taken so long for them to come up with a replacement. With a very expensive price tag in its day, the total sales of around 97000 were not surprising. The shortage in sales has garuanteed it's rarity value though, and with an occasional mint Corrado Storm going for more than 10k, it's worth keeping an eye out for one.
I'm certainly holding on to mine.

I love corrado's they look really modern and dont look out of place now! and ur right that automatic spoiler would entertain me alone. I one day aspire to own one, a VR6!!
They should put that 1.4 supercharged turbo in the new one, keep with the supercharged theme like the G60, and then with the engine out of the R32, how could would that be!

AdamB: they corrado was one of the best sellers that VW ever made but at the time they were going through some financial difficulty and that was why they decided to stop making it for some wierd reason. Possibly as the golf, polo etc had been getting made for years and they already had a future planned for them and some of the other cars.

It was on the cover of auto car that I saw it aswell.

79ronnie - I'd have agreed with you there, I couldn't understand how such a great car could be seen as a sales flop. But, I read that on a corrado fan site and from a Top Gear report. I suppose the sales figures over it's production run could easily be mistaken for a flop though - 97000 worldwide over about 8 years!. Either way, it's still a fantastic car and a definate future classic.
