The new VW is likely to be named the Scirocco, reviving the name of a sporty hatchback coupe that Volkswagen sold here in the US from 1975 to 1981. Even the concept car’s name, the Iroc, is taken from the middle part of the name Scirocco.

The new Scirocco is expected to keep the bold, aggressive look of the Iroc. Under the skin, the Scirocco will share the powertrain and platform of the Volkswagen Eos convertible.
