RE: 2007 Scirocco

["Marc Getty" <marc@getty.net>]

When I had my RIP C230K <http://getty.net/c230k/> I heard that it looked
like a Scirocco all the time. If Eric S.'s Corrado is a Scirocco 3, then the
Mercedes w203 chassis C-class coupe is a Scirocco 4.

Unfortunately it was not very Scirocco like when you drove it. It was built
like a tank, RWD, and not very sporty. One hell of a car though!

If you want to come full circle, the first VW sports (or at least sporty)
car was the Karmann Gia. The closest thing to the Karmann Gia today is the
Lotus Elsie. I bought my California Edition Scirocco to prevent me from
blowing a load of cash on the Lotus....

Good GOD that is one FUGLY car... of course, 99% of current production
cars are no beauty contest winners either.

Personally, I think the only "modern" worthy Scirocco successor was the
Mercedes C230K coupe:
