Enjoy it while you can...according to Automobile Magazine, the next Golf has been pushed UP two years, and one of the changes is a cheaper interior, to make the car more fiscally competitive with some of it's rivals which are, unfortunately, much cheaper. And...um...since when are VW's reliable? According to JD Power and Ass, the basic 2005 Golf gets only 2/5 stars, and anything that's blown gets 1 in their Overall Quality ratings . (BTW, 2005 Mustang GT gets 4/5)

As far as the Atom, hell yeah. Even over the Exige, or a Radical, or ANYTHING on a track.

I used to be a die hard top gear fan...but this season of top gear is pretty messed up...c`mon these shows are supposed to be about cars not sitcoms! I really hope that top gear will get there act together and start some serious car stuff.
cmon-this episode barely had a proper car,just that lotus...

Whatever, there are so many shows and magazines that already cover all of the latest cars and go over everything in fine detail. Personally, I like the humour and ridiculousness of contemporary Top Gear over some obese guy talking about how to get the best deal on a used ford escort and manufacturers monthly deals on station wagons like they used to do.

could it be that there are not that many INTERESTING new cars for this TG season?

there are new cars coming but later in the year...

how often we need to see a Porsche 911 vs Ferrari vs Aston...

What is odd is the total lack of presence of James... is he on borrowed time?

well not those you see usually on Fifth Gear images/smilies/smile.gif

saw last episode and almost fell asleep apart from the London start of the latest Gumball!

maybe they should try with a shoot-out Skoda vs Seat Leon...

seriously... new models from Audi? VW? BMW? that are not a mere update?

Q7 seen in the Winter Olympics

another Volvo? for crying out loud images/smilies/lol.gif

naaa... this episode was maybe short in cars but excellent for presence and banter

interesting cars are those that have interesting design or performance... images/smilies/smile.gif

Way to contradict yourself

"interesting cars are those that have interesting design or performance..."

"how often we need to see a Porsche 911 vs Ferrari vs Aston... "
