What is with these young drivers.
From the TV report it looked like a mk4.

I must say, that looks fantastic for the safety of our Golfs.. VW must love the publicity, not many cars take out poles and come off best

That's what I thought when I read the report this morning. VW FTW!

A (male!) colleague of mine had been arguing that there was no point buying a Golf over a Yaris or Jazz. He had to concede this one.

Then again, the guy (

) drives a Starlet and likes coupe convertibles...

IMO Coupe/Convertibles look, universally, ****e either roof up or down (sometimes both).

Guess we'll have to agree to disagree on that one LOL

PS, notice there were no pics of VWs in your post.

As for VW loving the publicity, I doubt it very much.

True, the Eos isn't as ugly as others.

I don't think the PR is all that bad for VW either. Recently a guy rolled a BMW X5 near Mudgee. Locals were astounded he survived and I remember talkeing to several different people who thought the BMW saved its driver.
