sorry, but speaking of Europe, this is wrong.
the fact that the GTX models replaced the Scirocco GTi,
does not mean that they are the same.

reason :
the "i" stands for fuel injection here,
so every GTi, regardless of Golf or Scirocco is a FI.
"GTX" was introduced in 1984 to represent
the top model Sciroccos, VW also added a bodykit.
BUT the GTX are not only FI, there were also carbed models.

btw. Question for the Scirocco Professors over there :
my '83 GTX has a rear window wiper,
my '84 GTX doesn't. There isn't even a hole in the rear window for it.
was this car meant to be an export version for sunny California ? :-)
