VW Scirocco to Be Reborn
Volkswagen can’t stop bringing back names from its not so distant past (in that way it's just like American automakers). First it was the Rabbit, and today's news is that the German automaker will build an all-new car named Scirocco, the last generation of which — from the early 1990s — is pictured here. Brand loyalists might be doing cartwheels, but all it means to the average consumer is that there will be a new two-door coupe from VW in the next few years.
It will most likely be built on existing technology borrowed from the VW Golf platform, or perhaps the sportier Audi TT; Audi is a corporate cousin of VW. Production is slated for 2008, so even if you can’t wait for a new Scirocco…uh, you’ll have to keep waiting at least three years to buy one. And that’s if VW even decides to bring it to the United States.

The scirocco was a piece of crap in the 80's and it will probably continue its legacy.
People thought it was a piece of crap in the 80's because men were probably more into looking like Boy George, or Michael Jackson, basically looking and acting like a girl. I had an 87 Scirocco in the late 90's took it to Germany and with 200,000 miles it still ran with the more modern cars. Now I have an 88 Scirocco. I will never part with it. Think about other cars of its time. Ford Mustang looked half Escort half Pinto bean.
