I'd be tempted at 45k

THanks for the explanations. Man, it looks horn! They'd bloody kill it out here I reckon.

... I wonder if this will simply force Volkswagen Australia's hand to import the car officially.

The previous MD, Jutta Dierks, has ruled the Scirocco out for OZ. She believe she felt if provided with the same engine as the Golf GTi, it would into the GTi's market, therefore unless VW would offer it with a more powerfull engine she wasn't interest. Doubt that the new MD will chnage her mind.

I met Jutta - she has plenty of "balls" (just ask her husband); but she is a very good business woman & if there is no business case, there is no Sirocco.
She has been promoted to the US in the same role from "little OZ" - that shows you what a good job she (& her team ) did here

Unfortunately me, the consumer doesnt really care about their business case. Ill just sit here wanting what I want and hoping that someone is listening.

Hey, I'm with you. Would have like to see it too in OZ. Not the only "questionable" decission by the head office though. Britain has an "Off-road" version of the Tiguan WTF???

Im watching this one very closely! Be interested to hear how much compliancing would cost if I was to source my own car though.. No doubt as second hand prices tumble more and more people will jump on board.
