When did VW start borrowing production styling cues from Hyundai? They should have kept the chrome grill from the concept…to me the production model looks like the bastard child of the Hyundai Tuscon and Rav4.

The scIROCco concept’s rims also will not make it to the finish line, unfortunately.

If you saw those rims, you would feel my disappointment. Maybe they changed their mind, but I really doubt it. From what I hear, a couple other things (4-point harnesses, etc) won’t make it either, but the nose, grill, body lines, LED signal RV mirrors will. Not sure about the roof, though. I think it was glass and may not be in final production either. but I digress…

This SUV from the standpoint of looks has been seriously stripped. I hope that blue one’s a base model. VW is SUPPOSED to be shaking up their product line.

I agree… Most OE’s usually tone down their concepts when they go into production. It’s pretty disappointing. However, I’d imagine the Rocco will stay pretty close to the concept IF it gets to production. The interior woudl more than likely be a little less “brave” and I’d imagine the front air damn will be a little less aggressive (a shame).
Thanks for the comment!

This is what annoys me most about concept cars. Look at the pics. The concept is bold, exciting, enticing. It’s anything but boring.

Now look at the greatly-neutered spooge that oozes out of the production end.

Time and time again, this happens. I hope the ScIrocco dosen’t look that crappy when it finally gets shipped.

I believe we have a winner! =]
