Hi all,

I thought that you North American folks would like to see my latest car from the VW TDi stable.

Its a 2010 Scirocco GT with the 170 bhp CR turbo diesel engine. I've had it for about 4 months now and its quite possibly the best car I've ever owned. Here's a few pics...







Before the 'Roc I had a 2009 Golf GT TDi so here's a couple of photos of it as well





I also own this as well for to satisfy my petrolhead cravings - 2006 Golf R32

Man that is one sweet looking coupe. Would you not want to strangle, the DOT, the EPA and VW all at the same time? Goodness. Then they whine that they aren't selling enough cars... Geesh.

Thanks leicaman.

There's about a 4/5 month wait for a new 'rocco here in the UK.

I hate that I can't own that car here. Though, as much as i love my TDI, I think I'd have to get the R.

Thanks for all the comments folks. My 'roc doesn't look so good today as she's now running on winter tyres and wheels. Also did a 150 mile journey on snowy roads today so she is absolutely filthy :(

What kind of mileage do you see with that Rocco? I would certainly like to see that here in the US as well.

I get between 52-54 mpg on average but on a longer highway run doing a steady 65-70mph the mileage can be up around the 60 mpg.:)
