brilliant ep! the christmas present part pf the news had me in tears laughing. i can't believe they broke everything images/smilies/rofl.gif

i like the new Jag too, even if the outside does look boring (i saw it close up at MPH, doesn't look very special imo) but out of the german cars, i would take the Audi without thinking about it images/smilies/smile.gif

otispunkmeyer · December 24th, 2007, 12:24 PM

XF was a lot better looking than in the photos, in those it looked like a kia, but in motion it does look a hell of lot better.

i sat through the whole 7 till 10 top gear night in, mays top toys wasnt too enthralling but better than anything else on the box, tg was great and the evel knievel program was kinda wierd.... evel came across as a kinda tormented bitter old man, i know he wasnt very well either which didnt help, but the whole thing just seemed odd.

good night in id say!

mads · December 24th, 2007, 01:02 PM

OMG ftphjgerohu perfect 10! images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

merry christmas!

Melkus · December 24th, 2007, 01:15 PM

Brilliant episode. A perfect 10 and a great conclusion to the best TG series to date. What a comeback after series 8 and 9!

8/10.

The fast saloons review was quite dissapointing. I expected something like 10x01.
James was again excellent.
To sum up, it was good episode and good series closure.

jrl1018 · December 24th, 2007, 03:26 PM

Gave it an 8/10

XF is quite a nice car, good review by James.

News was pretty funny with the broken Christmas gifts.

3 German Sedans-Great segment. Personally, I'd wait for the Lexus IS-F images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Banii · December 24th, 2007, 03:37 PM

Was that Sim City 3000 music on the Jag-review? The chopper shots...

Tobias · December 24th, 2007, 03:47 PM

Very good final episode to a fantastic season. An improvement over season 9. Well done TG.

kuyaalx0310 · December 24th, 2007, 04:15 PM

does anyone have a rip of james's pre- & richard's post Top Gear finale shows as well as Jeremy's Have I got News For You episode? it would be bloody great if we could see the entire Top Gear Night last Sunday here on Top Gear.com. sure as bloody hell we would appreciate it. Merry Christmas to you all.

TopGearNorthAmerica · December 24th, 2007, 04:15 PM

Excellent job. I liked:

1) Mrs. Stig
2) German saloons
3) Jaguar

Didn't care for:

1) James presenting the Top Star to Simon Cowell's milk tray
2) G-Wiz sabotage -- why not just ram both R/Cs into a table and see which has the last damage?
3) Mr. Nissan bobble-head -- they really coulda done a lot more with that

Want:

1) The Nissan shirt
2) The Jaguar
3) The Spanish racetrack

Would like to see, for next year:

1) Evo X vs. new Impreza
2) Cheap car challenge -- 3 5000-pound cars that are better than a Perodua Kalisa (complete with more destruction of the latter)
3) American Caravan Holiday (Airstream + Toyota Tundra or FJ Cruiser through Monument Valley -- perhaps a punitive excuse for Jeremy driving too many supercars, with Danica Patrick as the Stig's other American cousin)

Jezzagod · December 24th, 2007, 04:26 PM

Great Episode. News was just great. Laughed when Clarkson pulled off the head from the Nissans president figure. LOL

The apple bursting part was funny as hell....! Great season 10. Will miss you TG. Hope you come back soon images/smilies/smile.gif

FiendishThingie · December 24th, 2007, 04:39 PM

Gave it a 9. Brilliant episode: the small fast German saloons couldn't have been much better; the awards were wonderful chaos; Oliver returned; the News was just hilarious; and Stig hitting the apple was the best moment of my entire year.

Surprised they didn't mention that the Hamster was Heat's Weird Crush of the Year last year, only to be usurped from that position by James. I wouldn't count the former as a weird crush, really, though.

Also, best noise in motoring all year - the noise Hammond made when Oliver sank. "Nooooo! Oliverrrrrrrrrr!" images/smilies/lol.gif

But did anyone else notice the "genuine 500hp" Mustang, was actually a Shelby GT? Which is rated at 319hp. Yeah, that's uh, quite a bit off from 500hp.

Yea I noticed that, though in this case it doesn't really make a difference.

I'm pretty sure I know what you're talking about, and that was music from the Halo 2 soundtrack. It's called "Peril".

Perhaps it was a nod to them fucking up the dyno test on the GT500?
But that wouldn't make a whole load of sense if it wasn't the GT500.

Punisher Bass · December 24th, 2007, 06:05 PM

I noticed the Mustang fuckup/lie right off the bat. Either they don't know what the fuck they are talking about when it comes to Mustang's, or they just don't care.

First it was Clarkson saying the V6 version was a V8, then the GT500 dyno run, and now this Shelby GT crap.

Trollbooth · December 24th, 2007, 06:29 PM

7/10 for me.

The XF review seemed short and is lacking a lap time. Wish it'd been a bit more.

Where was the Golden Cock Award?

Could do without the first half of the German saloons. Thoroughly enjoyed the second half.

I wonder if they replaced the motor in the G-Whiz or just did it up for the camera and faked the drag race. Seems to me the stock motor would burn out if subjected to that kind of power.
