Car: 1998 Subaru Legacy 2.5L Rep Power: 41   |  [08x10] December 12th, 2005 The team honour the best car of the year at the annual Fifth Gear Awards, there’s a chance to win the Car of the Year and Jason Plato test-drives the brand new Lamborghini Gallardo SE. I can't recall a bad "Fifth Gear Awards" episode so I'm looking forward to this one  Now they have about 45-minutes to play with so maybe we will see more award segments. Oh and the  Gallardo SE is sooo good looking I can't wait to see it!! I woulda prefered Tiff in it cos Jason pisses me off now for some reason. |

Car: 1996 Grand Am SE sedan, and dad's 2006 S60 2.5T Rep Power: 43  | Plato is average to me. he is a damn good driver, and he tells you what you want to know. but he doesnt have the charisma of Tiff or the humor of Tom.

But I bet in a hot hatch. And if the ST has received a lot of phone calls, they could probably award it, and give one again. I might be wrong, though, and it can be a very different car, and they can give away an older version of the winner... | ||||
