images/smilies/lol.gif @ the Viper vs. Vette review. I never expected them to like the Viper. I'm one of the first to admit that it's a horrible car engineering wise, but I still love it. images/smilies/love.gif

I seeded for a few hours, hoped that helped guys. I really can't say this was a great episode. I loved the shining review the vette got, but the debilitating remarks on the viper just kill it. There are some things about a viper that you just can't expect seeing them. Finesse is one of them!

The Viper is a total animal, It has a suspension set in concrete, an engine with enough Torque to realign the planets, and enough attitude to make a Tank look girly. I really just think most Brits can't appreciate good ol' Detroit engineering. oh, and "lost the rights to the viper name" ? Tiff I do believe you're mistaken. and finally, just LOOK at the expression on Jason's face. . .you KNOW he's havin fun.

The beetle section sucked. I never liked them, and if it wasn't for Dr. Ferdinand Porsche, I wouldn't even have respect for the design. It goes to show not everything from such genius is good. My call woulda been sucking another 3-5min off that segment and seeing more Vette on Viper action.

What's the Deal with the Ariel Section of the program? that car freaking rocks, and we don't even get to see some track action for it? cmmon!

this entire show was basically rehashes of Top Gear reviews that wern't necessary! despite the nod to the vette in this episode, i still felt there was more substance in the TG one.

...sorry, this was such a letdown. thank you all for the effort, I really appreciate the work going into making this program available to us. images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

No, he's correct. Someone else has that name copyrighted in the UK/Europe/whatever.
