Sad - I thought those were fantastic cars and if they were still made today, I'd want one. Simple, light, good fuel economy.

I guess not as many Scirocco's were sold in the US as I had thought. https://carsalesbase.com/us-volkswagen-scirocco/

I think Shaun has a VW Cabrio project, right?
There's gen 1 Scirocco rotting away about 45 minutes from me. Never been that guy to go to the door and ask about it. I know of an excellent gen 2 with a diesel transmission swap for shorter gearing that I can buy for a reasonable price but it's not the same car.

Cabrio is entirely on hold while I build the paint shop. been thinking of just getting rid of it actually.
