Revised Scirocco or Computer Generated ?

Post by JohnC »

Looking for a good wallpaper of a Silver Scirocco, I found this.....

Computer generated, a version of the ROC prototype?

I'm pretty sure that this was a prototype that was built before the current roc was released. I've seen pics from other angles. here's one...

I cant see the current roc being facelifted anytime soon, at least while demand is high (it's not exactly an impreza!). Maybe Q3 2011ish forthe next one?

That's a shopped impression of what the rocco was going to look like. The image is circa 2005.

Thank god they changed it! That looks boring like a lot of other VW's can.

I am sure I remember reading that VW had a different Scirocco almost ready to be launced, but some new big bod came in and ordered it to be re-designed. Not sure if thats true or not.

Yep. It was going to have the Iroc nose treatment but the new head thought it was too aggressive and ordered a redesign partly to soften it and partly to give it a more family VW look.

Have to agree, I'd have loved the iroc front end. If this was the case i may have gone for green! I don't like it when beautiful concepts are designed but are toned down for mass appeal. Perfectly understandable though.

If I remember rightly the Iroc front end was changed because it was felt to be too close to the audi family look.
