9/10 FG rating. It would be a 4/10 on the TG scale. Not a bad ep, infact its one of the better ones the last few series. That RS6 is pure automotive PORN. The GTR review felt a bit "closed" and "strained". I get the feeling when TG reviews it and the RS6 those reviews will be brilliant. The camper segment was interesting...but a bit too long.

that GTR review was a rubbish, Tiff should have done the reviw for GTR.
funny how Jason said its like a playstation and showed the G meter(jason it has already been done by JC with old skyline). and they didnt show the interior in detail.
rubbish

My only nitpicks: the GT-R and the RS6 reviews were a little pointless. There was nothing new in it!
On a side note, the R33 is my favorite "Skyline".

yes that(R33) is a serious one.

the reason for the GT-R review being so short etc was because it was the exact same car they had on CAR Magazine. That was somebodies private car and even the track was the same i think, so they didnt have much room for a longer review i guess.

On the other hand AUTOCAR had a really good review comparing it with the GT3 and M3, but i dont know if that was shot in the UK at all.

solid ep, the best in this series in my view, especially because there were interesting cars --> GT-R, RS6, fiat 500 even the 40-grand camper vans were cool. I'd never buy the mini-one, it looked so heavy and underpowered.
I was surprised that the Renault coped pretty well when hitting a tree at 55 mph, I mean there aren't many chances you're going to hit a tree at that speed but it was interesting to watch

13x06 has had the very best Intro ever done by Fifth Gear. No dumb Introduction whilst sitting inside ACE's!

haha good point.

Yeah the GT-R section was a bit short, or at least the 5 mins wasn't used as effectively as I thought it could be. I mean it's the first TV test. We want to know a lot of details about the car that we can't possibly find out by looking at pictures and reading press releases (i.e. how's the driving position, the ride [was somewhat mentioned], steering feel etc). He did briefly mentioned the screen and the G-meter lol.
