Scirocco versus Impulse

H/t to Edvin.

Nearly identical: VW said no to Giorgetto Giugiaro’s design proposal for the Mk2 Scirocco, but made its own update on his Mk1. Giuguaro then sold the design to Isuzu for the Impulse. . . So here we have cars with almost identical silhouettes and similar detailing. But one (ironically with the longer front overhang) is longitudinal RWD, the other transverse FWD. . . One of them is a Mk1 GTI underneath with four wheel discs, more power and a lower center of gravity. The other is a rebodied Chevrolet Chevette. So guess which one drives better... . . Which one aged better? You know I have my answer... . . #VW #Scirocco16v #SciroccoMk2 #Volkswagen #VWClassic #Giugiaro #GiugiaroDesign #ItalDesign #GiorgettoGiuaro #AceOfClubs #isuzu #impulse #isuzuimpulse #impulseturbo #piazza #isuzupiazza #HoldenPiazza #Chevette #1980sCars #identicalcousins
