They are still cool today!

Me, too. This made us give the finger to the Scirocco. lol

@@x-man4702 yup, which is why i STILL have one!!

@@chrisblank8263 So, if I came across one of these with reasonable miles, would it be worth buying as a second car? I wouldn't want to own something that was prone to breaking down all the time, aside from the fact it's a VW.

I justwant it for the spoiler😂😂

Bruce Willis is dead through the whole movie.

Eric George eBay has them for sale .

Agreed! I drove one of the previous versions with the supercharger, back in 1990, it was great but not quick off the line. However, it easily pulled to 100 mph... never got to drive the vr6 edition tho...

Charles Soto hahaha!!!

I also have a nugget yellow ‘90 G60, which I’ve had since the mid 2000s and am it’s 2nd owner. You can see it in my thumbnail pic here. The chassis is amazing, and with a slightly throatier cat-back exhaust upgrade it sounds like a Porsche 944 to my ears. It’s not a car for the faint of heart where reliability is concerned, and it’s perhaps best suited to be owned by a DIY/shade tree mechanic who already has a robust set of tools. But when it’s up and running, nothing I’ve ever driven has felt so perfectly balanced and as well screwed together, and also puts a huge grin on my face, as that car does for me.

Don’t thank god. That’s irrational.

​@@TheDanno210That's so awesome. I have owned 76 cars in my last 26 years of life (I am 40 now) and I have owned quite a few fairly exciting cars. I have built quite a few of them to be supercar beating beasts, like my 1992 Acura Integra GS that I traded for my 1994 Ford Explorer that I swapped the original 4.0L OHV V6 for a 302W 5.0L V8 and installed an Explorer Express Eaton M-90 supercharger to that went on to make 457 whp through a 2WD system and 33x12.50 tires and a 6" suspension lift. I turbocharged my Integra using junkyard parts (with brand name supporting mods) and it went on to make 366 whp at 20 psi. I have also had a 1992 Plymouth Colt hatchback that I swapped a fully built 4G63t engine into that made 498 whp at ran a best time of 9.88 @ 147 MPH. I have owned MANY imports over the years that I LOVE to surprise domestic owners with, but my latest build (and my last one) was a 1997 Honda Civic EJ8 coupe that I built a fully forged and sleeved B18C for with cams, a fully ported and polished head, ALL brand name parts, and a Garrett GTS3582 dual ball bearing turbo and it made 709 whp and 503 lb ft of torque at 34 psi. One car I have ALWAYS wanted to build is a Corrado VR6 with a big turbo. I now own a 2013 BMW 128i and I'm chomping at the bit to install the same GTS3582 turbo that I still have when I sold my Civic.

Thanks. Nice choice in automobiles

Very beautiful and nice VW Corrado, i love this car

Thats awesome; I still have my '90 g60 since 1992 too!

Was it new off the lot, or pre owned? I know I saw a few new 91s languishing brand spanken new next to the VR6 models.. but likely not back to 90. Love the G60, I drove a white one with very few miles on it at a dealer and loved it.

No, it was a preowned. Some 16 yr old (supposedly) had it and his parents took it away from him... at least thats the story the Porsche dealer told me; who knows. It had 28k on it when I bought, which is alot of miles for a 16/17 yr old to put on a car in 2 yrs time, I think! It has 101k now on it. I remember a now rare '95 model Corrado in that beautiful Bordeaux color (burgundy) w/ light tan leather seats sat on the lot a looooooong time before they sold it. That car w/b so cool to have now.

I recall that model and color too! Oh MAN> I was the same guy just gauzing at it. Speedline wheels? 1993? I know the BBS earlier models had the BBS, also beautiful. Yeah, I know Corrado Lust. I need to really concentrate on just getting my car's minor stuff in order, though ;) Oh, I liked the green over leather a lot too.

@@djkenny1202 I was told that colour was called Amethyst. Yes, it had the Speedline wheels with the Dunlop SP 2000 tires from the factory. A friend of mine bought one brand new in 1993 and later sold it to another good friend of mind. He kept it for years and eventually traded it in for a brand new Audi A4 B5, which he kept for 11 years. I miss driving that bullet (the Corrado).

Walter Recaro was an option (for the European market)

Your dream exists. Canadian spec VR6 Corrados had Recaro front seats. They even had a power backrest adjuster.

that's miata money and you get more horses here

$48,340 in 2023

I had a 88,scirocco 16v,sadly i sold it,I regret it every day...saw it the other day driving by...almost cried...

+Angello Rockafella Driven both. Love the G60. I bought two G60's. The VR6 is fun. G60 Supercharger can be faster tuned right. G60 is sporty! The supercharger makes driving more exciting. =}

Yup! I feel like people's expectations for cars (Why do we need so much room in our cars? Why?) and safety expectations (Okay that is reasonable) are the cause for the weight gains and performance degradation of modern cars.

Motorweek tested the 2013 Ford Focus ST going 0 to 60 at 5.9 seconds

@Zachary Thomas what happened to it?

pcfxer yeah, bringing back truly small (ie, cozy, sport-inspiring) car interiors would be a welcome return

Yeah. I was thinking the same. I can't say much. I'm 46 with a gut too. It happens. I'd say his cardiologist put him on a strict diet. He was heavy in this video. I miss the anorak, though.

Flies2FLL I noticed that. got a good performance tone to it.

Poor sales and too many hatchback models I think. They had this, the Golf, and Scirocco all on sale too close to each other. Top that with the low power/liter/weight ratio of the VR6 and it didn't make sense to continue it. With the new Scirocco now, there probably won't ever be a reason to revive the Corrado name.

It was probably cannibalizing GTI sales. VW replaced it with the Scirocco, which was a blast to drive as well, but even that one got nixed last year. I love the Scirocco and wish it was still in production and was made available in the U.S., but alas, VW didn't deem Americans worthy =(

Thanks. We're gonna keep it full throttle. Be sure to watch 12 Days of Throwback coming Jan December...It'll be here before you know it.

Ben Davis Your team is so GREAT! Thank you so much to everyone! I grew up with Motor Week on my PBS Station and I love you are still going strong! I so wish I had access to your library, I wouldn't leave for years! Thanks again.

Thanks! Maybe some of the other guys will reply to comments soon too. I know Greg loves this old stuff

A good chunk of the library is on a defunct format that were trying to resurrect a player for in order to digitize. It's killing me that there no fox body Mustangs on here

No my valves needed adjusted on my 92 I put 90K hard miles on. Dealer must hav e done something with th when he replaced the timing chain

Maybe a timing belt and chain? These had self adjusting valves.

Kept my 92 GTI 16v. Nothing has been out I have liked more than this era of cars so far.

I'll add it to the list. Thanks for being a fan!

Oh ThankYOU so much! I can't find any videos, so ThankYOU so much!
