skerocdriver@juno.com (SHAWN C MEZE): Re: Europe vs USA

[mark.peele@juno.com (Mark A. Peele)]

In the U.S. Sciroccos were available with only 1 engine choice each year
(except for '86-'88 - when the 16V appeared). In Germany, buyers could
choose from 1.3 liter carb engines all the way up to 110 hp (Scirocco
GTI) motors! Sadly, the U.S. never got the Scirocco GTI. The U.S. finally
did get a big valve engine late in the 1983 model year (only 90 hp
though). The 16V in 1986 finally provided us with the power we craved.

The lucky @#@#$!s in Europe could buy new Sciroccos until 1992, whereas
they ended their U.S. run in 1988 (because of the Corrado in 1989?)

Other than Safety glass on all the glass, reinforced doors, stronger
bumpers, Calif emissions standards and the lighting systems, their the
same car practically!  : )

As far as I know, that is the difference between US vs European cars. 

If you would like to goto my web page and snag some of my car pics from
it and use on your page, your more than welcome to do so! Anything else
you see there that you like on my page feel free to use it too.
