Volkswagen Scirocco

We already know that the Volkswagen Scirocco isn't making a trip across the Atlantic anytime soon. But that doesn't mean we can't enjoy it from afar. After all, we're in the business of appreciating cars no matter where they are in this world.

The spiffy Volkswagen Scirocco soldiers on with a dynamic design that clearly has a lot of American customers scratching their heads on why the Scirocco hasn’t made its way in the U.S. The refined style of the 2014 model is most evident on the front section with new light signatures on the headlights and new aerodynamic blades just to the side of the bumper.

The 2014 Volkswagen Scirocco comes with a wide range of powertrain options, beginning with the small 1.4 TSI that produces 122 PS, all while returning an impressive 42 mpg. From there, the rest of the Scirocco’s engine lineup features a 2.0-liter TSI that develops 210PS and two 2.0 TDI engines that produce 140 PS (BlueMotion engine) horsepower and 177 PS, respectively.
