Hi

A friend is looking to buy a Scirocco - are there any clear indications it is due to go out of production in the next 12 months?

Clearly it has been around for a while, is there a direct replacement coming?

Thanks!

It went on sale in September 2008, so it's 8 years old now.

It's right at the end of its life, I would be very surprised if a new model doesn't launch next year.

New Golf 3dr, Audi TT or SEAT Leon SC would all be better bets

I reckon they'll follow history...

So the Scirocco will be no more, and a new Corrado will be released. It'll be a slightly cheaper version of the Audi A5, with a revised grille and headlights, and a different back end. There will be a 1.4TSi at the lower end, the 2.0 TSi from the Golf R mid range, and then perhaps a 3.0 V6 R version, in tribute to the VR6 of old.

I would jump on that! Reminds me a bit of the NCC concept from a few years back:

Looks like Leepu gas axed a Passat.
