AutoBild has published its new computer renderings of the forthcoming Volkswagen Scirocco on its online website. Last week, we noted that the printed magazine had a special report on new coupe, accompanied by new images. The new AutoBild high-resolution renderings seem to jive with recent drawings in other magazines, depicting a high belt line, gun-slit windows, a sweeping roofline, and aggressive headlamps. For the first time, we get a look at the rear of the Scirocco. The taillights feature round LED elements now typical for VW and are divided by a large trunk seam. AutoBild noted that VW does not plan to offer a large glass roof on the Scirocco, contrary to previous reports. The car is based on the next-generation Golf platform. The Golf VI and a Golf SUV will debut in 2007 as 2008 models, the report said. The Scirocco is expected to follow a year later as a 2009 model. Other possible Golf-based vehicles include the Cross Golf and a Golf wagon.
