VW Scirocco on Vossen CVT and VLE-1 Wheels Showcased in the UK

The connection between the 'Rocco and the low-rider society has always been strong. Boy, here I am talking about the little coupe as if it's some kind of 'Vette or 'Stang.

But it's cool, right? Were it not for the stubbornness of Volkswagen USA, it might have been as popular as the Focus RS. Still, every little bit of attention counts when you are trying to fight off extinction because that's what the Scirocco is facing right now.

The stance is cool on both of them, but there's something... odd about the green one. For some reason, the owner decided to have the engine cover and most of the interior covered in fake wood finish. That's either regular plastic with a water transfer or some sort of vinyl. No way are we or anybody else ever going to believe that's real wood.

The green weirdo also features an air suspension system in the trunk and some expensive-looking VLE-1 wheels. Ironically, the more technologically competent Scirocco R model (the blue one) features a clean interior and crisp, polished CVT alloys from Vossen.

Looking at the video and the photo gallery the guys have put together, we're a bit angry at Volkswagen for giving the short straw to this car. Out of all the crappy cars they put into production, couldn't they just scrap one idea and give more funding to the Scirocco? This is easily the manliest car VW makes and it was the fastest track car back when the R made its debut.

But judging from the state of the interior design and those old headlights, the neglect of the Scirocco coupe becomes painfully obvious.
