isn't Jaguar XF the one that Jeremy said if it looked like the concept he will "cut his own leg and beat himself to death with it"?? or was it some other model?

BTW, can't wait to M3, RS4, C63 AMG segment!!! images/smilies/smile.gif

Have you seen this:
from http://www.bbc.co.uk/topgear/show/nextepisode.shtml
Quote:
In a display of German firepower not seen since the Bismarck, we pit the BMW M3, Mercedes C63 AMG and Audi RS4 against each other in a quest to find the king of the V8 super saloons.

Richard builds himself the best radio-controlled car in the world, while James takes a considered look at the car designed to drag Jaguar kicking and screaming into the 21st century - the XF.

And, with it being our last show of 2007, it wouldn't be complete without the massively influential Top Gear Awards.

Plus, our Time Lord in a reasonably priced car is Dr Who star David Tennant.

Sunday 23 December, 8pm BBC Two

I hope it's not a repost.

i'll bet they agree on the rs4. Jeremy went nuts about it last time, and what i hear about the m3 is all squishy.

I'm guessing Richard is the favourite to win the Golden Cock by a long shot, on account of his crash last year and this year.

As for the upcoming episode, a blast from the past is coming back, bringing back remote control. As long as Richard doesn't test the G-Wiz in a quarry and take part in tests, no Problem.

I can't tell you anything at all, except I was there on Wednesday & it was FAB!! Definately the best of the series. All the original TG humor back in all the right places, and THE NEWS (thank goodness!). The G Whizz bit is SO funny and the Spain film is just so well done, you can't help but love it! There was no Golden Cock in the awards, but that's the only spoiler I'm writing for you!!

This one looks to be another great one. The M3/RS4/C63 has to be better than the crap review of the Alfa/TT/RX8 when they went golfing and had to do the presentation to get it into a museum. That one really annoyed me. Looking forward to the XF, and the always great awards.

Damn snookering holding us back till the 23rd!!! images/smilies/yucky.gif

Maybe newish info
Quote:
Then at 8pm we get the last Top Gear of the series, which sees the boys triple testing the new BMW M3 against a Merc C63 AMG and an Audi RS4, to find out which one handles the best and which one makes you look like a hair-gelled weasel. James takes out Jaguar's brand spanking XF, David 'Dr Who' Tennant is the star in a reasonably priced car, and the three of them turn a G-Wiz into a high-performance radio-controlled car.

I'm guessing that "Recovery" was high on the list of things NOT discussed with David Tennant... Would be awkward but he was so damn good in it. Miles away from the Doctor...
