I don't know why this episode received such a high rating, it's pretty good but not that great.

I hate the design of current BMWs, but the 1-series looks ok to me.

atleast its not that bad , in India merc S class cost 65,000,00 INR (for S350L) which after u convert it it comes out to around 150,000 US$ . Thats after they build the car in india. If you buy car that is imported u have to pay around 120% import duty.

As for the Hyndai Getz is around 12,000 US$

I'm guessing his joke about it being the next reasonably priced car wasnt a joke.


Maybe he was getting us ready for it.

This was my first full year watching TG. Do they have a new reasonably priced car every year? Just wondering.

The Swift would make a funny choice. images/smilies/lol.gif

The current reasonably priced car(s) have been there for 3 series of top gear, maybe the swift will be the new one starting from next series? images/smilies/smile.gif

Actually they had it for the whole 5 series...

Time to get a new drive... It may well be we had a glimpse of the next reasonably priced car... my guess as well

The "What Not To Wear" episode with Jeremy is pretty funny by the way.

For you "not in the know" Americans, "What Not To Wear" is the show that Trinny and Susannah present.

What's the point of having a new "Reasonably Priced Car"??? I dont' get it.

If they change it, it will have to be a car with very similar perfomance in EVERY way as the Lianas. If it's not, Lianas times will be useless; no point of comparison between Lianas times and New Car times.

Well, they have to get a new car sometime. It's time to start a new board anyway because the old one is basically out of room.
