Car: 1996 Grand Am SE sedan, and dad's 2006 S60 2.5T Rep Power: 41   | Screw the stunts, just have one guest, and try to not force a shitload of mediocre segments into one episode. All the while, try not to make this into a sketch show. That's all I ask of Top Gear.

Rep Power: 11 | Doesn't sound that brilliant the Evo v STi will winge alot about the overcomplication of the cars, mention the word playstation alot, and comment on how ugly the STi has gotten I think he'll give it to the Evo in the long run. |

LFS Status:  Rep Power: 0 | Well this is going to bore the pants off my friends. Unless something epicly funny happens in any of those segements most people who actually don't care about cars will find it boring, they need some kind of challenge in just to appeal to the rest of thr audience. However, I'll probably still find it intresting.  Oh, and while I'm at it SIARPC was rubbish last week, why can't Topgear just ditch the segement? They've done most famous people why not keep as a car show rather than a mini-chat show for some unknown celebrities to waffle on about their rubbish car history... |

Car: (I want a) Holden Monaro Rep Power: 13 | Shut up! I'm sick of people being so critical of this. And we haven't seen any of it. Why can't we just accept what we see and then move on? Why?
__________________  RG's Torque Stuff about the new car I have...other than that, not much "This is a car program. There will be no cushions. There will be no rag rolling. No one will sing and at the end of the series, no one will have a recording contract. This is our new base. And this is our purpose built test track. There are no traffic jams here, well apart from this one and no bus lanes either. This is Top Gear." - Jeremy Clarkson, Season 1, Episode 1. |

Car: ^2000 JDM Subaru Legacy RSK B4 Rep Power: 0 | Woohoo, an RS6 drive - I hope it gets sent around the TG track as well. Speaking of tracks, I wonder which Evo and STI versions they'll have, the UK versions often seem closer to our official new models (or not at all for some UK only trim levels), rather than what NZ can pickup as a Jap import. We've followed the Aussies with Scooby specs, 2.5Ltr detuned engines, whereas I understand that the Japan new versions are still using a 2.0Ltr engine with more power, but bad emissions. |

Naw, even the challenges would feel stale if they took too much time and there wasn't enough variation. The first season back after the accident had a higher ratio of the 'how hard could it be' challenges with all the stuff recorded before the unfortunate event, and it was a little slow in parts. The guests can vary in funny power, but they've had some magic people over the years - famous worldwide or not. BTW - we've had another UK car program showing here in NZ - something called 'Vroom Vroom' - if you want to complain about any part of a *Gear car program, check that out first. I caught one the other day and it was woeful. | |

Car: Acura TSX Rep Power: 0 | Looks like this one is all about the car reviews. Is the challenge going to be Hammond vs. the extreme skiers? The stars in the reasonably price car need to improve. Bring Lewis Hamilton back to do his dry lap. |

Rep Power: 18 | CLK Black - Good RS6 - Good Fat stunt man - bad MORE stars in a car - bad Evo vs STI - Good, its a classic battle Lets hope the good is good enough to cover the bad.
