T1no Posted March 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 This Volkswagen Scirocco has more aggressive, sports car-style dimensions than the GTI, though. Compare them side by side and the Scirocco is nearly 2 inches longer, 2 inches wider and 3 inches lower, despite riding on the same 101.5-inch wheelbase. It might turn out to be faster than the GTI, but not by much. The Scirocco will offer four different engines under the hood: three direct-injection inline-4s that burn gas, plus a TDI diesel. The three gas engines make 120, 158 and 197 horsepower respectively, while the turbodiesel serves up 236 pound-feet of torque. All four engines run through the GTI's standard six-speed dual-clutch gearbox, but the 158-hp engine will offer an optional seven-speed DSG setup. Details on the suspension setup are sparse, but the Scirocco will offer "adaptive chassis control," a driver-adjustable setup that coordinates the damping control with the electro-mechanical steering. adaptive chassis control, which i think its pretty cool. they starting to use this system on entry lvl cars now instead of super cars only. i just like the idea of having dynamic setting for you driving needs. its like having multiple cars. so you don't stuck with stiff dampers/suspensions the whole time. the new b8 A4 supposed to have one. but of course sadly: Editors Note: The new Scirocco is *NOT* going to be sold in the U.S. at this time. VWoA feels the new Scirocco is too similar to the GTI in form and doesn't make sense to bring over. While we think the new Scirocco looks better than the IROC concept, it still isn't what a proper Scirocco should look like. Volkswagen had a beautiful opportunity to build a great looking coupe that would be unique in the lineup and instead has built a hotter GTI. As much as we like the way this thing looks on its own, we're disappointed the "new" Scirocco didn't turn out like it could have. What's Edmunds' take? Would it be nice to have the Scirocco in the U.S.? Certainly. Would it be worth paying $30K for? Not really. ?

Malaphax Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 What I find interesting is that the sroco is essentially a streamlined GTI. No offense I'm with edmonds no need to bring that over, just give us the new GTI when that comes out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T1no Posted March 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 DETROIT ? Volkswagen confirmed Wednesday that it has no immediate plans to market its new Scirocco in the U.S., blaming the dollar's drop against the euro. http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/News/articleId=125058 on the bright side We've heard an S3 Sportback has been confirmed for Europe, which could lead the way for an American S3 from what we've heard in the past. Though the up-until-now 3-door only S3 wasn't fit for US sale, the 5-door most certainly is. Also, the car's 2.0T engine is now open game for US sale thanks to the federalization of the TTS. Even still, we'd heard that internally there is some debate on the merit of bringing the car. Though its got its supporters, it also has its detractors. We raised the question yesterday in a roundtable with Audi AG boss Rupert Stadler and Audi of America marketing chief Scott Keogh. Both executives said the car is still being considered. So what does this mean? Though some sources have told us the S3 is out of play, Stadler's and Keogh's responses make us more positive. If you would seriously consider buying the car, let Audi know that it needs to come. http://forums.fourtitude.com/zerothread?id=3719147 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me a real car please (also note that because it only has 300hp and weighs in at a whopping 700kg... you weigh 1/7 of the car... just be a jackass a buy a motorcycle...)

T1no Posted April 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 WRX vs GTI shootout ok before you watch the video; take a guess who will win i guess WRX but i was ______ reason: 30 more bhp better power to weight ratio all wheel drive dont cheat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuhla Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 (edited) I'm guessing WRX will win too but only because of power to weight ratio. EDIT: Just finished watching. Hmm. Edited April 4, 2008 by kuhla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malaphax Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Just to point out... the new subie's aren't the best.... I've heard this more than a few times... Yea, I guessed the golf... but I sorta cheated... I will say that I'm not so sure about that track. It seemed very long and straight as opposed to something like the top gear track with crazy corners, where the all wheel drive might have helped it out...

T1no Posted April 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 not slower. still went 0-60 @ 5.9 its just the softer chassis and suspension work on the wrx is worst. i think its because of the hatchback body or new chassis, im sure Subaru will rework the handling for next year. but yeah i was surprised that the gti actually quicker around that track.

T1no Posted April 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 yay, just my thinking but expect the new cars from VAG with 2.0t motor gets new updgrade the new a4 that is coming to the states with 2.0t motor gets 211 horsepower and a very impressive 258 pound-feet of torque. soo mark 6GTI or mark 5 2009 model maybe.
