    It is convenient that press coverage would appear a week before a new season.

    It's easy, find the nearest pommy whinger who doesn't know their own stupidity and feel that the rest of the country is dumber than themselves and need to be told what's safe. Show them the old clip, get them to complain (the only thing they can do with competence) and voilà, instant press coverage!

    I feel for Britain and her people who are suppressed by the safety nanny Nazi's.

    What needs to happen is they need to research and find out what really is dangerous. Like experiments such throwing a safety Nazi into a wood-chipper and see if the thrower needs to wear goggles. That kind of thing. #topgear

    Doesn't Ofcom understand? This ad gives us all hope. Hope, that despite Gordon Brown still being in number 10, that BNP has supporters, that each and every Briton paid £3000 to a charity called Goldman Sachs, and Tony Blair becoming even more powerful by becoming the whole damn president of the EU without actually being elected,

    there is still the Scirocco TDI. Life's not so bad. #topgear

    Meh, it wasn't that funny or that shocking. Would have been funnier if the TDI had hit him and killed him. Obviously the guy was a failure, so he should have failed at the suicide as well... #topgear

    I thought it couldn't have been any funnier. Plus, I liked the Poland invasion ad too. For those who were offended, I heard that a new season of "So You Think You Can Dance" is here. Go watch that instead. #topgear

    The "Dah, dah, dah" ad didn't make the cut? Really? THe "Kleine GTI" ad and the '71 Karmann Ghia ad were brilliant, however.

    I appreciate that VW's ad money is the lion's share of the site's revenue stream, but aren't any of you in management worried about the credibility of a car site that doesn't acknowledge, at least once in a while, that the vast majority of VW's are utter pieces of overpriced crap driven by Apple Store shoppers who care more about a secret paint color you can only get on the internet than they do about driving dynamics or reliability?

    @snapoversteer: No problem, just wanted to make it clear that we don't ever get any editorial pressure to say good or bad things about companies that do or don't advertise on our site.


    That said, if VW wants to send me a suitcase packed with cash, I'm all for it!

    The British series "If only everything in life was as reliable as a Volkswagen" had little stories about lifes vicissitudes, in which the punchline was the protagonist turning the key in their Golf.


    I'll always remember the morning after the casino guy, and the unfaithful husband woman.


    Oh, and the one where the couple are in the car for hundreds of miles, and everything is perfect except for this continula tiny squeak. Despite endless searching, they can't find the source. Eventually they pull into a tiny service station in the desert, and the gnarly old proprietor leans into the car, looks around, and puts a drop of oil on the womans pendant earrings.
