Yes - we know that no matter how much we beg, we won’t get the 2009 Volkswagen Scirocco GT on the stateside. On the brighter side, we will be getting the new redesigned 2010 Volkswagen Golf GTI in spring 2009.

But we’re still wondering (and we’re sure someone at Volkswagen is probably thinking this as well), if American consumers were given a choice, would they pick the the 2009 Volkswagen Scirocco GT or the 2010 Volkswagen Golf GTI.

Both are powered by the same 2.0L TSI 4-cylinder turbo producing 200-hp. Let us know by voting in the poll below - and if you have something more to say, feel free to drop in a line at the comments section after the jump.
