Yeah, from the looks of it, assuming the Golf follows suit, the dash won't change very much in the Golf MK6, other than the shape of the vents! And the troublesome rattly centre vent is different too.!

I like the car from the outside, but am not impressed with the fact that the interior is exactly the same as the mk5.  Thought they would have changed it from the mk5 as its an all new car.

The new dash will be saved for the Golf as that's the flagship model. Dropping it in the Rocco would have spoilt the surprise on a niche model.

I'm going to reserve judgement until I see one in the flesh. However, it's no more than a 2-door GTI Coupe and can never be a great allrounder as the 5-door Mk5 GTI/R32 is. I bet the rear seats don't fold but could be wrong.

The whole point of the Scirocco is to offer people a purer sports car rather than a sports version of a decent all-rounder.  The Scirocco isn't a family car with a load of sporty bits added, it's a coupe.  So it can't really be docked points for not being a decent all-rounder as that's not the purpose of the car.  If people want an all-rounder, buy a Golf  :tongue:

....Yes, we said the same thing! The Scirocco is a sports coupe and not an all-rounder. :rolleyes:

I give it the thumbs up.  The only thing I don't like is the VW badge.  It should be on the grill.  There's some proper photos of it in this weeks Auto Express.

Just seen a video from the show of a red pearl Scirocco. It looked very nice.

Looks quite nice, I agree the badge should be in the grill and the 3.6 with 7 speed DSG woulf be a good plan for a nice sports coupe.

ALl rounder wise it has a surprisingly big boot

But even though Volkswagen has focused heavily on style, the Scirocco remains relatively versatile. There’s a 292-litre boot, which can expand to 755 litres with the rear seats folded.

Probably got lost in the "Great Crash of 08
