Thought this might be of interest:

Scirocco sales rank 2012
#155 (out of 296) 712

And a top ten list:
Australian sales figures for 2012 - Mazda3 best-seller, again - PerformanceDrive

I just googled the numbers, 712 sold in 2012, 99 dealers in Aust which is about 7 per dealer per year.

Just read the article... How they call the standard Veloster a sports car is beyond me. I;ve not driven the turbo yet but the standard one while looking sporty, drives like crap. Hugely underpowered and I couldn't extract enough out of it on my test drive to indicate that more power would make it any more fun a drive.

Oh and ditto my above comment for the Kia Cerato Koup

Driven both versions of the Veloster, neither had sufficient performance. The turbo gave no real performance feel. It just gave the car a much needed increase. This should be standard in my opinion.

Mercedes must be pleased with the C class coupe though- probably not a sports car either in most tunes but to knock off both the bMW 1&3 seires is a great result.

Not to mention, it's just plain ugly.

I see three every work day (all within one block, and surprisingly not near a dealer) - a lime green, matte grey and the other in a deep yellow... a passenger (colleague) once said it looked like a scirocco, he now walks to lunch

Funny, my sister said the same thing. She also prefers the RS250 (she's not a car person)
