Wow, we might as well rename this website to topgear.com eh?
Seems the only thing more depressing than the abysmal view/post count on the 5th Gear shows are that the opinions are almost always "cruddy."
In contrats to every new Top Gear episode, which is heralded as "the best ever!!!!!zomgxorz!!!111," every new 5th Gear has someone screaming "omg the worst of the season!!!!!!!" But what can we expect? Most of the Top Gear viewership aren't car enthusiasts anyways.
In my opinion, this episode of 5th Gear has far more content than the first episode of Top gear. For one thing, MOST of the show is devoted to cars instead of intervewing an old lady and finding the "best" roads in Europe. They down-the street garage setting is used for getting up and close with not only your everday cars but also more potent machines.
Full agree, I bthink Top Gear and Fifth Gear can't even be compared, it's aimed at a totally different audience and this season is definitely one of the best for me because they don't try to make stupid stuff and stick to the things they can do best and that is driving
Plato, if your listening to me now, forget about burning the Top Gear barn and start burning them scripts!!

- They bought a Lotus Esprit and tried to break 200 mph with it. Failed.
- Vicki tried to verify Aston's claims that the Vanquish S could reach 200 mph. Didn't even get close.
- Jason tried to do 200 mph on the Autobahn in some Brabus thing. Didn't happen.
- Vicki again tried to do 200 mph, but in an A1 GP car. Same result as before.
- And now this week, they hoped to film a new 0 - 60 mph time record with an Aerial Atom. Failed once more.
