VW's next Scirocco?

[JestersG60 at worldnet.att.net (Eric Lonchambon)]

It's a roadster , not a coupe. ETA  2007. check out the new Road and Track
magazine on page 51. It looks like a Lotus Elise (it's competitor) i am
looking at the clip right now as it is taped up on my computer desk.
1600lbs target weight using magnesium , carbon fiber, aluminum; rear drive;
2.0L 150 hp,
 0-60 in 6+ sec.
If  VW Vortex & its  readers have anything to say, we'll be able to get one.
we just have to make enough noise. I want one! I am already having second
thought about spending on my Mk1 rest mod in anticipation. It should kick
arse in autocross. OUt w/ all those Miata's   ...ericL

Well I have to remember to bring the mag so I can scan it.  It strange
because there is nothing on vw's site about it and I haven't seen anything
on vwvortex either.

Ok, I'm going to have to scan the article and bring it in but one my car
mags (either car and driver or motortrend) have a short blurb about cars
coming out in the next few years. One picture they show is of a new two
seater vw coupe. It looks something like an audi tt with a little
Porsche thrown in.

Here's what makes me wonder if its their next scirocco... First it is
said to have a curb weight of 1650 lbs. It will be powered by a 2.0 non
turbo engine, do 0-60 in the 6 second range, and offer very little as
far as electronics (no power windows or steering). Sounds a heck of a
lot like what a new scirocco should be.

The only real difference is that it will be rwd... this is what a
scirocco should be any way though as it helps with weight distribution
if your trany and diff aren't at the front of the car.

Oh yea, and the real kicker is its suppose to be priced at about $20,000

>From memory of discussion on this list this basically answers all
arguments as to why vw should not bring out a new scirocco... most being
that the car would be too expensive and too heavy

Now it would just be cool if they actually call it the scirocco seeing
as they are back into strange names for cars (phaeton, toureg)
