Geneva is set to be really interesting this year, I'm on my piephone so can't link it but have you seen the VW teaser sketches that have been released too? It's a mix of the rocco and golf and looks as dull as dishwater! At least that Audi looks promising, if a little 'A4'

That is truly awful. The Audi I actually quite like, especially with 400 bhp!

Is that the same one as in the first post?
If so I take my words back, that looks pretty nice!

That Golf concept looks awful imo. I guess I've suddenly woken up to how old I really am and am old-fashioned in my tastes.

I don't trust concept cars as any real indication of what a production car will look like. Look at the concept Rocco and the production one. I'm very sorry all you Rocco lovers but although they have some good features I don't like their styling overall < Only my personal opinion and means diddlysquat.

ditto i look at rocco's and dont desire them at all, such fat arses and even side view is, well, odd imo

Those pics I posted are the next scirocco concept by Giugiaro. Lets hope VW totally ignores it.

....But let's not start a Rocco haters discussion (my fault) - It would be a dull world if we all liked the same and anyway they are actually a good car.

....Crikey!! But it doesn't even begin to look vaguely Scirocco-ish. I'm extremely surprised. It looks more like a French car.

This looks nice but am I the only thinking that if this is a normal 'a3' has 402 bhp then what will the 's' and the 'rs3' be like?
