High-resolution renderings of Volkswagen Scirocco, Golf SUV

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.

Clean design, I like it. It will need to be priced way under a V8 Mustang to work. VW has no North American manufacturing and the Euro may work further against them.

Looks like all the German cars are adopting the flared wheel wells. The wheel wells work well on the Scirocco. It doesn’t work on the Mercedes in my opinion. They should add a front fender vent, the design lends to that even though it would be a “me too” item. (they already copied the flared wheel wells, what the heck)
