I test drove the Scirocco but was immediately turned off because it had zero headroom for someone over 6'. I literally had to recline the seat to prevent my head from whacking the headliner. -Frank P.
#2433 of 14566 Tour-Egg... by rsholland Nov 12, 2002 (9:58 am)
was the pronunciation I saw in some car magazine (or was it an on-line article?). In any event, it was promoted by an automotive source as the correct way to say it. Bob

Yeah Frank, but the low-flow stlying was a big part of the appeal. I think C&D said to pronounce it Tour-egg. The point is, noone can agree! Dumb name for an interesting SUV. -juice

Just to add to the contoversy, I like to pronounce it Too-WAH-regh. They should have kept "Colorado". Big time. -juice

to put a more modern spin on the WWII-derived 1970s off-road VW "Thing," the new VW "Thingy!" Bob

I had no problems with the headroon in the Scirocco. Of course I'm only 5'8" so I sat pretty low. The Scirocco was the car C&D coined the phrase Super Coupe around. Mine was the first year, so I had tons of problems. Good thing there was only a one year warranty in those days, as I replaced the points and condensor with an electronic ingnition and ripped out two bushel baskets full of emission garbage (and the broken air conditioner, which was a GM unit and about half as big as the block.) It did a lot better after that. Of course anything was an improvement on the car it replaced; a 1969 FIAT 124 wagon (see a theme here?) Steve
