Volkswagen says no Scirocco for the U.S., we’re deeply hurt

It’s been rumored for some time now that Volkswagen is considering the Scirocco for the stateside. At the end of last year, we even heard reports that the Scirocco may come to the U.S. as a limited-edition high-performance hatchback so it doesn’t hurt the sales of the Golf or the GTI.

Unfortunately, according to Tom Wegehaupt, Volkswagen of America’s PR coordinator, plans to bring the Scirocco to the U.S. have been cancelled. Wegehaupt told AutoBlog that the company couldn’t make a business case for a U.S. Scirocco and feared that it may take away from the new 206-hp Volkswagen GTI.

Now, you can either settle for the GTI or you can call Volkswagen and express your anger.

    I honestly did not care about whether or not the Scirocco comes to the U.S.

    …until I saw that picture of the blue one above.

    Now I think it's one of the coolest cars I've seen in a while and VW is seriously stupid if they think THAT can in any way even compete with a Golf. Puhhh-leaze
