This car for me is just full of win. I drove the 09 Scirocco GT at the beginning of this year and thought it was a fantastic drive (although it did have a manual transmission...not sure how this DSG will compare). Any upgrade to that machine is bound to be a dream to drive and a pleasure to look at. In related news, my local VW dealership just closed down...damn recession.

Despite my initial inability to effectively shift the gears in a smooth manner, the Scirocco continued to roll along. Its great to see the Scirocco nameplate back in circulation again, I would encourage everyone who has the opportunity to take a tour the Wolfsburg plant in Germany, it's a mammoth in size facility, with a history that dates back to 1938 with the production of the "Peoples Car" which was the forbearer of the modern VW Beetle.
