Volkswagen has finally released the all-new Scirocco. For all VAG enthusiasts reading this, you may be jumping with joy, but not so quick! Volkswagen has released the much-anticipated the 2009 Scirocco in Europe only.

Going for approximately 32,000$ USD (£18,790), The Scirocco base model comes with a 1.4 TSI engine putting out a very decent 160 horsepower. Considering the small-displacement engine, it gobbles approximately 43 MPG.

Alternatively, one can pick up a base model or GT model with a diesel engine. Taking only 45 miles to the gallon, the 2.0 liter engine will offer 140 horsepower. Either a six-speed manual or VW’s DSG transmission can be chosen.

Sorry everyone, we’ll have to wait and see when it’ll be officially released in North America. Is it possible for the Scirocco to come before the new 2009 VW GTI?
