<p>It?s pretty easy to guess what the new Golf-based VW Scirroco will look like when it becomes available in 2007 or<br />
2008, but we still love seeing computer generated images of the car. These come from<br />

<p> According to <a href="http://www.autoweek.com/news.cms?newsId=103723">AutoWeek</a> [via<br />
<a href="http://www.germancarblog.com/2005/12/vw-future-product-blueprint-for-niche.html">GermanCarBlog</a>], the<br />
Scirroco and Cross Golf will be part of Wolfgang Bernard?s new product blueprint for Volkswagen called ?Hut? or hat in<br />
English. The term refers to placing a unique hat, or exterior (sides and roof panel), over many models that share the<br />
same underpinnings. It?s not exactly a revolutionary plan and it?s something we thought VW had been doing for a while<br />
now with platforms shared between Audi and itself.</p>
