Well.....im in the UK at the moment and drove past the local dealership...

Noticed a red Scirocco sitting proudly in prime spot out the front where there was an R32 the day before..of course i had to stop and have a good look (much to my wifes disapproval). I got talking to the salesmen about random VW stuff (plenty of MkII content) and 15 minutes later i had the keys in my hand and took it for a quick blast around the block!!!!!!

I realise this thread is totally useless without pics..and i apologise for that but it was a spare of the moment thing....

There are a lot of similarities to the GTI as far as power and handling...OK i didnt push it, but the feeling I got was very familiar. Suspension felt stiffer than my GTI but could be the fact its 3+ yrs old. The thing that kept running through my head was somewhere between a TT and a GTI which seems to make sense. build quality was very good (are these german built?) and on a par or above my GTI. If i was in the market for a GTI and didnt need 5drs id seriously be having my fingers crossed we get this thing soon, id snap one up. VERY impressed!
