Jeremy Clarkson zum Einser und dem Neuen
Verfasst: Sa 11. Okt 2008, 20:35
Jezza, wie er hier auf der Insel genannt wird, hat nun schon wieder am 21. September in der renomierten Times einen gut gelungen Artikel zum Einser (Grund ist seine Probefahrt des neuen) Rocco verfasst. Der Artikel gibt auch sehr nett Auskunft, wie es zu seiner Karriere gekommen ist.

Höhepunkte des Artikels:
"And then my eye was caught by the Scirocco. Underneath, it was the same as the Golf, but it had just the most agonisingly pretty body"
"All I wanted to know is whether, if I bought a Scirocco, it’d cause me to have more sex than if I bought a Golf. "
"bought the Scirocco — a GLI with a tan interior — and in a year I clocked up 54,000 miles in that car. I loved it"
"Eventually I replaced my beloved Mk 1 with Mk 2. This was a terrible car,"
Jaja, das war hier in GB schon lange bekannt, dass Clarkson den 2er nicht mag
"To drive, the new model feels pretty close to the Golf GTI, on which it’s based. Which means it feels pretty close to perfect. The only weirdness is that it takes 7.2sec to get from 0 to 60, which is just half a second less than my old Mk 1 took 28 years ago. "
Warum sich den Neuen holen, wenn man einen Einser hat ?
"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. "
