I don't really know for sure where all Sciroccos were manufactured; I was
under the impression that they were all from Germany but could be wrong.
However, I know a lot of the other models were made in Germany/US and
now, of course, Mexico... Remember the rabbits with the round headlights
vs. the square being German vs. American? Perhaps this is the case with
the mentioned Scirocco and GTI?
