Sounds like 230i territory. I agree VW/Audi will have to be careful to differentiate from the TT, as thus far, the TT has been a very distinct product. Also, the specs on the Scirocco suggest it my be in the low 3-series/A4 price point. VW have had some difficulty getting the maket to imagine them as a high-end marque and, as good as the Scirocco may be, they will be compared to brands, BMW especially, that have more favorable connotations. If a 230i with similar specs is competitively priced against the Scirocco, I see an easy choice.

This, of course, assumes that a 230i would also be priced in the low 3-series range.
