Yep, it is Scirocco inspired but mostly A2, All Sciroccos were A1
chassis, they continued on in other parts of the world (Non-US) until 92.

The B1 chassis is a Quantum if you are not selling them in the US, they
were called Dashers over here.

The later Fox as sold in the US was kind of like the Corrado in that it
was a ??? on a B chassis.

These names are correct but slightly misleading- the non-US name (like
Bora & Vento) are not included, and it makes some of the dates off
slightly because some models continued on in another country OR another
chassis continued on but all the others were the next number up
(Convertables/Carbiolets = A1 chassis while the Golf/Jetta had become an
A2, etc.)

Gets real slippery.

btw- Sciroccos are also known as type 53 and 53b (Mk2)  ;]
