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

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!Comment

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.Nothing to see here...Comment

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.76 MkI 3 door - daily drive/project - 1.8 5speed
76 MkI 3 door swallowtail - 16v track car

I bet the Poles would be laughing it it were "Berlin to Paris in a single tank"...Nothing to see here...Comment

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..currrently... MY10 GTI | DSG | Candy White | Sunroof | 18's | BT | MDI
previously... MY08 GT TDI | DSG | Reflex Silver | SunroofComment

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

HAHA that annoyed me to no end as well. Jeremy calls it the Bath-hurst too.Originally posted by bujna View Post
