I think you can name any product "Scirocco" and sell it as is without any
problem. I think the problems happen when you use the name in conjunction
with the VW logo. (Kinda like the list t-shirts I had made. SHHH!) Since
I made a small amount of shirts and wasn't looking for or making 6 digit
figures from it (Read, its a hobby thing baby.) VW probably doesn't care.

Im not sure how the copyright or registered trademark laws work or
anything but that's my gut feeling on it. I could be completely wrong but
at least for me it makes some sense.
