I'm German and i have absolutely no clue who will be driving the scirocco, but i doubt it will be Hans joaquin stuhg or Carlos Saints (lol sorry, couldn't resist).
Gotta like a person who answers their own questions, right Charioteer? Of course, that's why VW won't bring the Scirocco here to the states. Car companies don't like to compete with themselves.
I agree about The Stig. Who really cares who he is. Rest ashured, it's not FLD's own DD. Thank goodness. lol
i know Lexbubbles, i figured i was a sure thing for C.O.T.W this week, damn!! they were going for questions this week. oh well lets talk cars then. lol. i'm still very disappointed the scirocco didnt make it down here, i dont think it'd really take that much sales from the GTI. oh well i guess if i wanted it bad enough i could gust get one imported for 20 grand more than the sticker. lol. Era kinda sexy. when u say till this picture show'd up... does that mean it show'd up lata, after speculation had be circling??? if so, it could just have been photo shop'd by the top gear guys. either way i'm glad, i really dont wanna know who the stig is till the show is ova for good. oh the waas funny DD.
The Commenter of the week sucks this week!!!
What a lousy comment...
Wel I am from Germany and I also don't understand why they produce the Scirocco besides the GTI... both in the same price range and both have the 2.0 TFSI engine with 200hp.
ummm i dont think any one person is the stig, they probably just get whatever racing driver is available, they might even just get the test driver from the car company that the car they are testing comes from, that way they get the best performance possible always. either way i know that a few seasons ago the had the stig drive the renault formula one car and after that it was reported that hiekki kovalelen (i cant spell his name) drove the car, obviously he isnt the stig cause hes busy with the formula 1 championship, so thats why i think the stig doesnt have a single identity
WTF is a Stig? Sounds like something you use to fight off bypass surgery. Instead of finding out who he is, why not find out how he got that ridiculous nickname.
the stig cant be more than one person, cuz if it was, it wouldnt be fair, i mean thing about it. erryone has their different driving styles, what if stig a can put down a faster time in car {A} than stig {b} can??? who gets to deside which stig gets to drive what car and y. in order for it to be totally fair and consistant it has to be one guy driving all the cars.
First let me answer the "What is a stig question".....see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stig_Blomqvist
Ok now the "There can only be one stig".....agreed - however that does not mean its only 1 person. Eg believe in Santa? As for it being unfair.......its everyday cars, not even F1 is that strict. Basically good drivers drive good cars fast. If the car isn't good enough than it will still show up, driver compensation only works on crap cars really.
supramike i still stand by the version of the conspiracy of who the stig is that i posted before, he is just whatever the best available driver is available, yes i agree with you that different driving styles would affect results but it could also warp the results is the opposite dirrection, different cars require different driving styles, therefore different stigs get the best result from each car
First to comment, wow, I'll be responsible. I heard DD knocked out Suge Knight because he scratched his VW Beetle DONK.
Puerto Rico. I'm Jealous. That Passat Wagon actually dosen't suck. Oh and who gives a %&*@ who the STIG is?
Sorry Supramike. No Commentor of the week this time. I'm not sure what you have to do.
I'm German and i have absolutely no clue who will be driving the scirocco, but i doubt it will be Hans joaquin stuhg or Carlos Saints (lol sorry, couldn't resist).
The Scirocco looks cool. Why wouldnt they bring it here to the US? Cause itll compete with and take away from GTI sales?
Yo...will there be an episode on Monday (Memorial Day holiday here in the US)?
It looks like Allen needs a haicut and new headphones. Nice show guys.
LEAVE THE STIG ALONE, HE'S THE ONLY COOL MYSTERY LEFT ON EARTH... LET IT GO!

Derrick is a very handsome man with smokin side burns!
Just deep-six the GTI and give us the Scirocco
that is all that you could come up with for comment of the week?
Oh!I like to have a volkswagen with my own.oh! how I wish...
Yes i am

i almost thought DD was giving me a shoutout, he was like Vee Dubb----ble-U haha...awesome show today guys
this presenter looks scruffy and messy

Still VWs, which are hit or miss in quality...
Don't mess with the stig. You don't even know where to place your hands on the wheel. Put DD on the TG track and he sets the new slowest record.
Alan looks like a homeless guy.
Sabine is awesome! Don't mess with the Stig.
DD if you stay in PR, that's fine by us. Alex and Carrie will easily cover your slacker slack.
Oh, and don't mess with the Stig.
hey Mercator, stop being a dick, ur just a hater on DD cause your jealous and wish you had his job...
That scirroco looks pretty cool btw
Fantastic looking new Scirocco GT24 and even the Passat R36 study.
Love you Sabine Schmitz, you really are Queen of the 'Ring and full of character.
Who says there is only one stig? GhostRider anyone - we know for a fact that legends don't need to apply to one person.......

why does your presenter look dirty? don't you tell him to take a shower
