A few months ago, Volkswagen of USA told TheCarConnection.com that the Scirocco hatch-coupe would not come to the U.S. The concern was that the new car would cut into the sales of the GTI.

VW may be changing its mind--or maybe it's just teasing all those Scirocco nuts who crave the return of the two-door. TCC's resident humidity expert, Cyrus Etemad-Moghadam, sent these pictures from his phone of a VW convoy in Oldsmar, Florida. There were two brand-new Sciroccos, one black and one white, two new Routan minivans and two Jetta Sportwagen TDI driving together. The Sciroccos had "2.0 TSI" labeling on the back. The GTI 2.0-liter TSI engine is is the larger of the two engines to be offered in Europe.
