Insider: VW Scirocco Coupe & Passat Coupe Launch Dates


Back in October we informed you about the European market launch dates of three upcoming VW models (Scirocco, Golf VI and the new Polo). Then we told you that the German carmaker will release the production version of the Scirocco concept during the fourth quarter of 2008. Now, we can be more specific as we learned from our sources that the VW Golf based Scirocco Coupe will be launched in Europe in September 2008.

As for the Passat Coupe, our sources support that sales of the sporty sedan will commence in Europe towards the end of 2008, meaning that the car will come to the US most probably during the first quarter of 2009. VW has already released a teaser video of its “poor-man’s” Mercedes CLS alter-ego (click here), but official details remain scarce for the time being.
