VW Scirocco

A legend is returning! Volkswagen's amazing IROC concept car will be called the Scirocco when it goes on sale in two years' time, resurrecting a badge not seen since 1993.

"It now seems that we will be using the Scirocco name," confirmed a spokeswoman for the firm at the Paris Motor Show. Due in 2008, the new model will be based on underpinnings from the Eos convertible.

But while the UK will be getting the stunning coupé, British buyers won't be given the chance to try VW's latest arrival - the CrossGolf. Based on the popular hatchback and featuring a raised ride height, beefed-up bumpers and a rugged look, the two-wheel-drive crossover is currently deemed by bosses to be "inappropriate" for the UK market.
