Look for a full review in the near future.
About the Scirocco… “This coupe had its heyday from 1974 to 1992 with two generations before suddenly disappearing from the Volkswagen catalogue. In 2008, the German brand wanted to offer a sports coupe version to its Golf V. This is how the Scirocco came back to the fore. The first phase was launched in 2009 and was an immediate success. In eight years of being back on the market, this coupe has exceeded one million units sold, which is higher than the sales of the first two generations combined. To compete with the Focus RS, Volkswagen launched the Scirocco R in early 2010, a more powerful and sporty version with 265 horsepower!”

Any word if the Civic will be produced in white at some point in time?
None. We’re sure it will be completed some day!
Another batch of wonky Ottos. The front end of that Scirocco is miles off being accurate, and how bad are all the sealed grilles?! Something’s off with the back of the Civic, and the A-pillars and roofline of the Gordini look very wrong too.
I was tempted by the BTCC Laguna but the more I look at it, the more it looks like they undersized the wheels.
How do they get it wrong so often?
