Hopefully it won't be super heavy...it'll be competition for the Impreza in any case. It sure looks better than a 2008 WRX.

I would still get one, but it won't come to america and if it does it will be detuned...

Not if you've got kids. Four doors are sweet for Dads.

They are considering this (the R20T) as the only Scirocco model and placing it below the GTi R32 in performance.

Think : Bunny < GTI < R20t < R32

What I am waiting for is the 20t AWD version of the Jetta Sportwagen... grrr

Those first-gen scirrocos may have been one of the best-looking cars of the 70s. It's a shame the looks have held up so much better than the cars have.

I see an immaculate green one around her all the time; it inspired me to buy one of my own. I never found one I ended up buying an e30 instead... :D

They'll sell the pants off of 'em if they don't fold to the peer pressure of "turbo 4-cylinder AWD cars MUST have at least 4 doors!" Don't get me wrong, 4 and 5 doors makes for more functionality, but I like my 2+2s.

I would love me a WRX in a 2.5RS body. Or if they'd take the current WRX hatch and make a 3-door.
