Remember when I heard that Mitsubishi was repeating the eclipse? Remember that the feeling of complete boredom when it was detected as a terrible SUV is terribly inspiring instead of a pleasant sports car? Volkswagen does not want people to feel this way about its cars. Or at least, cars with exciting legacies, in any case.
This is the word from the CEO of VW Brand Thomas Schafer, according to a recent report from Autocar. Currently, the company appears to be estimated at the history and legacy of its vehicles and is not interested in restarting anything. This does not mean that developing new products will not enter into more SUVs or transmission operations. But Chevir entrusted that these models will not wear slogans of floors performance cars from the company’s past. To clarify the point, specifically indicated that Scirocco will never become the SUV.
“Scirocco is a very special model,” said Chevler. Autocar. “I can name a few others, but if the DNA does not reflect the original car in a really strong sense, then [we would] Instead, give it a new name and do something else. “
The statement comes at a time when some car manufacturers have been criticized for restarting old models in completely new types. It immediately comes from Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross immediately, but other models such as Ford Capri – who used to be a sporty coupe, but returned last July as an intersection.
“If you allow something not, then be very careful,” she said. “Say, if GTI is, it’s best to be GTI. It is our model. It should be true for genes.”
The last time we saw VW Scirocco was in 2017 when the three -door hot hole retired. It was originally launched in the 1970s, and was the main element in VW’s performance during the eighties. After stopping for 16 years, she returned in 2008, although sales were never strong. Rumors of the new Scirocco float in the background for the past year or so, and may return to the scene as EV performance. These rumors were very thin and speculative.
Do you still have a hot hole that contains three doors, enough DNA to justify the name Scirocco, or is it a four -cylinder high -committee engine required to make it a suitable return? Jumping in the comments and telling us.
