pictures in auto express are "Exclusive Pictures" whatever that means

Exclusive in that no other magazine has them because its all bolloxs (imo).

Just found this:

http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/06/video-scoop-of-new-volkswagen-golf-gti.html

Journalism at its worst.

Up until it now, it was believed that the next GTI's 2.0-litre turbocharged four-banger would get a 10 to 15 percent boost from 207hp (210PS) to around 220hp-230hp, but Autocar magazine reported today that the hot hatch may make as much as 260-horsepower.

Its doesnt state anything about how it got this information. All it says is "reported" i.e someone has just plucked a figure out of the air and reported it to sell magazines. 260bhp in a GTI as standard is crazy talk.

Must be due to having to join the dirty, dark, Aldi gang.
