Live somewhere you can buy a VW Scirocco? Want a new one? Hurry up. Production has stopped and once the remaining stock is gone, it’s gone.

I see Sciroccos fairly often so I’ve done some research on sales to September. What models does the Scirocco outsell, in Ireland at least?

Quite a lot, actually. Let’s have a look.

- Mazda MX5 (by about 2 to 1)

- BMW 7 series

- Peugeot 108

- Renault Twingo (not hard, just two Twingos were sold!)

- Audi A7

- Audi A8

- Subaru Forester (and every other Subaru)

- Tesla (both models)

- Ford Mustang (by four to one)

- Toyota GT86 (by 25 to 1)

- Every Jeep

- Kia Soul

- Ford Edge

- Merc S class

- BMW i3

So we see that even at the end of its life the Scirocco does better than some better known models.

Surprising fact for some: 41% of Sciroccos were diesel.

I’m reasonably well-informed they’re explosive.

Just to remind you that the Scirocco was on the Golf Mk5 platform which was introduced in 2003.

Indeed. Wasn’t worth upgrading because of the low sales.

IIRC, this was never brought to North America for fear of cannibalizing Golf sales. Not surprising that a vehicle held back from potential growth is now getting axed for low sales.

I always thought it looked nicer than the Golf.

Coupes and even three door cars in general are a dying breed.

Just think, in 2033 we can import the 3rd gen Sciroccos to the US!

The Scirroco is one of the few VW cars I think has some style. Not necessarily my style, but style nonetheless.

Then again, the Passat CC was just a hacked Passat with less function and a focus on style (same as Scirocco). Yet they not only introduced it in North America, but it’s still going.
