Back in the 2000s, VW released the Sirroco. I was graduating from uni, and it looked like the perfect car for me. I would have moved heaven and earth to own one. Alas, VW hemmed and hawed on homologation for North America and ultimately, it did not happen.

I do wish we had EU-level options here.



? You mean the Scirocco that's been around since the 70's?

Apologies for the typo. I should have rephrased it as “re-released”.

Third-gen didn’t make it to North America because it would have eaten away at the Golf/Rabbit market share.


The US never got the 3rd gen models. There were plenty of 2nd gen models back in the day, but they're getting a bit old- I haven't seen one on the road for many years.
