Volkswagen confirmed today that it will build a successor to the Scirocco sport coupe at its plant in Setubal, Portugal. A company spokesman said VW had made the decision early this year but had announced in the past only that it would bring a new model to Portugal without saying which one. The announcement provides little detail, but it does seem to confirm the car will be called Scirocco, rather than Corrado or anything else. Last week, rumors of the Scirocco’s imminent approval broke, along with much debate and design speculation. (Pictured right is one artist’s rendering of how the 2009 model could look).
