Just saw the strangest car

[Pitbull]

It looks like a Jetta 3 but has 2 doors and from the side looks like a ALFA 147.

It's a VW, just never seen one before and it looks oldish. Anyone know what car it is?

 

[Rosaudio]

a Corrado?

 

[Ice2Cool]

Scirocco?

 

[I.am.Sam]

a Corrado?

mostly see them in jhb ....

 

[Pitbull]

Scirocco?

No man, I know what those are

And they look more like a Golf 5 than a Jetta 3 from the front

 

[Pitbull]

a Corrado?

Googled it and YES.

Thank you


edit:

Wow they're old. How come I only saw one now for the first time? They not part of VW SA's range I suppose?

Hey it aint as ugly as most cars. It has a look to it and if it wasn't a VW I would have most prob liked it too

 

[Creag]

Weird looking tjor. Looking at the notes on Wikipedia, seems like it's quite old too (pre 1995?).

 

[Nerfherder]

I mean for its age.... now it looks dated but I imagine that would have been hot back in the day

VR6 Corrados are awesome, quite a few in SA.

 

[Rouxenator]

They are pretty sweet car indeed, long time ago top gear did a feature on modern classics and the Corrado as well as the 190E 2.5 Cossy was included : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JK4vLkUGOs4

 

[Tacet]

Looks like a Jetta that reversed into a too steep slope.

 

[Thugscub]

No doubt a grey import, they probably payed about R18 000. for it.

 

[Rouxenator]

Who does grey imports and are reliable at it?
I am contemplating a Vauxhall Vectra or Insignia.
