Regardless, I reckon this is the perfect time for me to cash in and create some perfectly craptaculous Beijing 08 memorabilia in the dark dungeon that is my basement. Anyone for some Usain Bolt bullet boots only $9.69 million or Michael Phelps fantastic flippers? Nike should hire me.

Any one got any suggestions on where  i can by some gold shoe polish?

Look out for these bad boys on August the 25th.

In terms of power; under the hood the 2.0-litre turbocharged engine which will deliver just under 200bhp. The Scirocco comse with a 6-speed gearbox available in manual or Volkswagen’s semi-automatic fancy twin clutch thingy! If like my granny tech specs mean bog all to you in layman’s terms this car’s anything but a slouch! So with all that power you’d think efficiency would be the last thing on Volkswagen’s mind, well you’d be forgetting they’re Germans; efficiency is what they do best so don’t be surprised to see the Scirocco taking you further per gallon than a similar car in it’s class.

It’s on sale as we speak in Europe with US release a controversial yo-yo like fiasco (One minute there will be a US release the next Nada, Zilch, Zip). This new set of wheel will set you back around £20k ($40k, if you could actually get it in the US…not rubbing it in or anything).

The truth is not all of us can afford super cars and this is where hot hatches come in, they provide the advantages of super cars i.e. power, speed and style without many of the disadvantages i.e. cost of the car, high insurance premium and high fuel costs…so basically they don’t burn a hole in your wallet. If you’re in the market for a super car do yourself and your bank balance a favour buy a hot hatch, the environment will love you for it!

Oh and did i mention this car is guaranteed to get you noticed with the ladies.
