Belgians uncover truth

Seems like our lack of excitement about the leaked Scirocco brochure has been justified. Autoscoops.eu has dug into their archives and used their collective minds on the forum to disprove the 'leaked' Volkswagen Scirocco brochure, with success.

As it turns out now, the lay-out has been taken from the Volkswagen Eos brochure. Some photoshopping, skewing and blurring added to the idea that this might just be it, the new and much anticipated VW Scirocco. But closer scrutiny unveils the following, the front page headlight is taken directly from a VW Iroc Concept press photo. The interior is from said Eos brochure with a again different headlight photoshopped into the left box, the second left box shows the new VW Passat CC wheel, and the electric window controls show four buttons for a two-door coupe!

Credit to Robin and Autoscoops.eu for their keen eyes and vigilence! We are on the other hand still expecting to see the Scirocco at Geneva. Hopefully the next leak will be authentic!

Speed vs reliability...

WCF should double check & scrutinize every leak like that before publishing it otherwise superior credibility may suffer at the end.

Just my two cents

They got the typeface on the cover wrong. It should be Futura (as VW has used forever) and they used Helvetica (or Univers or Arial etc, don't have time to inspect it.)
