Reallly?  Huh.  I'd not compare the Scirocco to the M Coupe - they're two
completely different cars.  "Updated" Scirocco?  Understatement:).  I guess
I'm in the minority here, I look at the Scirocco as an econobox - the newer
ones are nicer econoboxes than the older ones, but they're all economy
cars.  IMHO, they're not "unparalleled sports coupes," or "performance"
cars, they're just neato cars which do many things for not much money.  The
M Coupe, well, geez, that's like saying the C5 is a nice update for a Geo
Metro.  Sorry.  I like to stretch things and perspectives, but I just can't
look at any M-car in the same light as any VW.
