[sporran]

Here's an ad done by Top Gear for the VW Scirocco on a recent show which attracted some attention for it's supposed poor taste.

Jeremy Clarkson VW Scirocco Advert

Cue the morally outraged PC brigade

Cheers Al

The media is reporting outrage over this...

I mean serrrrriiiiioouuussssllly when are people going to realise that Jeremy does things like this to shock people. If youre going to watch him you really need to be aware that your sensitivities may be in the firing line!

[quozl]

I'd say it's more likely the media is trying to create the outrage to beat up a story on a slow news day

great ad tho

[mk3pete]

i liked it

Thought it was a bit of a boring challenge this time around, even if it did involve the New Scirocco but in true Top Gear fashion, very funny!

That's hilarious. I know the Nazis did terrible things in Poland - but that doesn't make Clarkson's play on words any less clever.

It's not as bad as that Polo ad (where the terrorist blows himself up inside the car and no-one else got hurt) that accidently got released a while ago - and that had its funny sides too.

I can see how some people in Europe would get angry with it, even 60 years on it's still a touchy subject.

Typical Clarkson style though, was a great ad imo.

The other adds they mate on the last eppisode of season 13 where bloody funny too.

[Manaz]

I bet the Poles would be laughing it it were "Berlin to Paris in a single tank"...

I saw the episode on monday, they really didnt like the scirocco diesel, it only comes with the 103kw engine over there..

They did a bit of an aussie show with both a VX R8 "Bathurst Edition" and a Malloo Ute..

hehe....don't you mean Bath-Hurst edition. I felt like slapping Hammond everytime he said it.

HAHA that annoyed me to no end as well. Jeremy calls it the Bath-hurst too.

Cool to see a pair of Aussie cars being praised though.

Watch the whole section of the show, goes for a few minutes.

ALL BRILLIANT.

I was crying at some points it was that funny.
