Volkswagen Sirocco
Until the BMW 1 series appeared, the Volkswagen Golf was led the pack in its class, but that situation has now changed. As a result, Volkswagen has given a second life to their legendary Sirocco which was sold over one million models.
At the recent Geneva Motor Show the production model was revealed and it was only slightly different from the concept. Basically, the new Sirocco is a pretty coupe with 2.0 liter turbo engine under the hood. There will be four engines available and all are diesel powered offering from 122 to 200 horse power.
Seems satisfying enough so far, but there’s more. The panoramic sunroof and touch-screen navigation give the Sirocco a modern charm which will make long drives comfortable and enjoyable. However, there is also some bad news. According to the VW Beetle Blog, the Sirocco will not be available for sale in North America.
Volkswagen of America CEO and President Stefan Jaocby has confirmed the sad news: There will be no Volkswagen Sirocco for North America. According to a report by Car and Driver, the American makers of VW parts already have the GTI and the R32 in place of the Sirocco. The Sirocco will be available for the European market by mid-2008.
In Europe where VW’s Golf is one of the most driven cars, the new Sirocco will be the second loved vehicle from the famous German auto manufacturer. Enjoy the video below.
