Well after that review, I imagine a good few of us as feeling a little bit more impatient now.. and somewhat smug!!!

Looked very good didn't it.

Would have been nice to do a full proper test instead of a meaningless run on sand but it'll do for me :)

Another example of Fifth Gear copying Top Gear. Fifth Gear really is pants. I wish they would do a few more proper reviews and not try to be so 'entertaining'

It looked good but i was hoping it would be a track test with Tiff or Plato,although that's not really what the car is for,but still.The thing on the beach was just daft.

Have to agree with everyone car looked very good so glad i chose white, why oh why did they do that stupid test on the sand did not see a single thing that it gave to the review.

Why does fifth gear not just stick to doing reviews rather than trying to be top gear.

A month cant come fast enough.

white looked stunning, i think the brochure does white a real injustice, at least the top gear challenge would have involved proper driving roads than scabbling over a beach, they were clever in shooting from low angles so it looked very good indeed and the alloys stunning, missus was a bit miffed at the 25% better than a gti, she'll be toast

chatting with a few guys today who watched it and were raving about it not knowing i'd ordered one, lucky b%stard was the reply to me saying it arrives end of october :)

i friend of mine who has bought a brera had to admit it looked stunning in the white too, everyone wants to see it when it arrives

consensus is people really repect the scirocco and does not seem to have the tt type tag
