Trust me, these are a much better looker than the Scirocco in real life.

Yes its FWD, 1.6 turbo engine with 6speed gearbox, 156 or 200hp.

There is also a 2.0 diesel with 163hp. (and the 156 or 163 have optional 6 speed auto gearbox)

Navi, do you have pictures of your 4AGTE setup? I didn't really see any on your link - I'd be interested to know what type of setup you had.

Congrats on the buy, that is a very cool looking car. You guys talking about peugeots, sciroccos, it reminds me how America get's jipped out of so many great cars. That interior is leagues better than what the GT offers, looks very nice.

Wow, congrats on a pretty cool and unique car (especially in the states). How do you like it performance wise? It seems like if it were RWD and lightweight that car would be amazing.

10% Import Tax on everything from outside the EU, 19% Sales Tax and USD 12000 New Car Tax (based on CO2 emissions)

For comparison, a new Mustang GT costs around USD 110000 here. The CO2 tax on that thing is astronomical.
