Golf and Scirocco R Launch info

[RedRobin]

Nah, I think it's really cool - but then I also have a C30 which people think is weird. Very subjective.

Sense has everything to do with spending money, Lada could make the most beautiful looking car in the world tomorrow and I still wouldn't buy it.

....I very much agree - Which car you prefer (in this case Golf or Rocco R) is very subjective to the individual.

Regarding sense having everything to do with spending money, not in my case - I'm simply not hardwired that way. You know how I squander money on mods.

Not sure what's going on with the day time running lights on the Rocco, but god i'm starting to like it more and more.. Just not in that colour..

....They look a bit weak and as if the wiring isn't connected properly - Not cool.

Its nothing to do with wiring etc. It's due to the nature of LED lighting. The frequency of the light output appears to be constant the the eye, but it's actually flickering thousands of times per second. Something, that on occassion can be picked up on camera due to frame rates etc.

Well I actually got my copy of Evo through the door today. Verdict on the Scirocco R - it lacks soul

I guess that was expected really. What I didn't expect is for the Evora to win.

Does it have the S3 engine? Would explain the soulless part.

LED's on camera's - have you not noticed it on top gear before?  Like when you try and video an old CRT tv

Thanks for that saves me reading it for myself.

About the R32:

"Some poor Wolfsburg mensch would have to fire up the heavy-duty forklift and attempt to prise that lardy six-pot into the engine bay of an unsuspecting hatchback. Then he'd do the same with a rear differential, a prop-shaft and some driveshafts. Whereupon a familiar vocabulary would be bestowed upon the vehicle. First would come the inert steering, then the shabby body control, closely followed by curiously asthmatic performance. But all of it would be overshadowed by the main event - some good ol' 4wd understeer."

I'm guessing they didn't think much of the R32 then

And I haven't even opened my copy yet

If you asked nicely I am sure he would scan it in for you.

Save all of us buying it.
