- Competes with: Mini Cooper S, Volvo C30
- Looks like: A low-riding GTI with a chopped roof
Though it's been absent from the U.S. for a while, Scirocco is one of Volkswagen's more recognizable nameplates, and it's been resurrected in the form of a two-door hatchback that has room for up to four people. Details are few at the moment, but Volkswagen says the Scirocco will be offered with an adaptive suspension and both diesel and gas engines. We'll have to wait and see if the diesel engine option makes it to the U.S.
The Scirocco's profile is reminiscent of Volvo's new C30 hatchback, with its sloping roofline and long side windows. Rather than a version of VW's corporate chrome grille, the Scirocco has black upper and lower sections that are separated by a molded bumper. A small rear spoiler finishes off the liftgate.
Inside, the dashboard layout closely resembles the GTI's, and occupants in both the front and back get sculpted bucket seats.
