Brochure 'errors' 1st January 09 edition

Post by JohnC »

Looking closer at the "The new Scirocco" brochure, the picture of the standard car on page 21 has been photoshopped from a LHD?

Very odd, selling a >£20k car to the UK and not bothering to update the photos for the second edition of the brochure...

The cars also tend to be lowered a lot more than in real life.

lol, but I think he's right after all we some how don't have all the interior options that the rest of Europe get but when it comes to our brochures a quick mirror flip does the trick - very lazy (understandable that doing anything RHD related is a hassle but still)

I love the car to bits, wouldn't change it for anything else but I think VW really suck at most things.

Finally JohnC your going to enjoy the car's owners manual - its full of inconsistencies and incorrect info.

We get the Truffle leather here in France but these pictures are not of a Scirocco interior !

In fact it's the Passat CC interior

I hope they build the cars better than they build web sites :shrug:
