Why is the Scirocco ignored so much?



It wasn't that long ago that I was a kid, er, child; I'm 28 now, but
still a kid (with a job to support a bad VW habit). 

ANYWAY

I went to a hobby store recently to see if I could find a model of my
beloved Scirocco (I have had it since I was 17...do the math :)  To my
dismay, I found out that there probably never was a Scirocco Mk2
reproduced in scale...in Radio Controlled form, or even plastic model
kits (I did manage to find a Mk1 Scirocco model, though).

SO

Can anyone explain why such an elegantly styled and simple car is so
ignored?  I am the only one of my VW owning friends to have a Scirocco
(5 Golfs, 2 Jettas, and me).    
Just a little frustrated; I guess I just like to be the underdog
(probably the same reason I still have my Amiga computer ;)

I am just glad I found this mailing list...I was beginning to think I
was alone in this A2, A3, AX... world :)

Enough already.  I'm done whining now.

on...)

PS.  Anyone interested in having a radio controlled Scirocco custom
made?  ;)
