I see there's an R at number 1. :laugh:
The Clubsport S though very well done great to see just a golf mixing it with the big boys.

Thanks, no surprise on first place, the latest 2wd, 500bhp 911 with added manual gear change!

Voting and overall placement in the running order is subjective, what I do find interesting is how far away the Focus RS & M2 were, not what I would have expected.

Wow - Great News ... This is exactly what i predicted two months ago when everyone was saying i was crazy ...  :whistle:

So thats a Podium finish in the Top Gear Awards and second place behind the legendary $1'000'000 911R in Evo ECOTY for the CS-S ...  :smug:

Anyone who said the CS-S is just a tweaked Gti needs to think again ... This is legendary stuff for the VW brand and the humble Golf Gti ...

I am so pleased for VW ... they took a risk and that risk has payed off big time ... they are now mixing it with the big boys  :evil:

This is a landmark car for VW and an Icon even before one has landed this side of the channel and only 400 world wide build - a sure fire modern Classic  :grin:

No it's still a tweaked Gti! Very good tweaked but none the less still a gti.

Bit of a PITA really, I won't want to use it now. Might have to wrap it up.  :cry:

Yes, sir ... A very well tweaked Gti  :kiss: Great for the VW brand and for all GTi owners ...  :laugh:

Evo ECOTY is always a great benchmark as it is more about the overall Car on British B roads than outright speed or price! I was more than happy with their choice last year ...  :whistle:

So it looks like the lucky owners awaiting delivery have a cracker of a car to look forward too  :whistle:

I can't wait to read the review ... How did the OP know the Result ...??

My copy dropped through the door on Friday. Imagine it will be in the shops next week.
