Posted 21st September, 2008 in Volkswagen | Leave a comment
Pot-bellied Yorkshireman and Top Gear’s figurehead of fun; Mr Clarkson has been driving Volkswagen’s lardy Scirocco for The Sunday Times. He reminisces about owning a Mk1 GLI model during the early eighties and compares the original with Volkswagen’s current offering.
“More important than the speed, though, is the way it looks, and I’m not sure. The original Scirocco was designed by Giugiaro, who is a modern-day Leonardo da Vinci. This new one was done in house, and from some angles it’s what Michael Winner would call historic. But from others it’s a bit wet. And you should definitely be aware that in white it looks like a Stormtrooper’s helmet.”
