Bold, fearless prediction: Suzuki Swift.

It's been hinted at in the last couple of series, it's reasonably priced and the TG crew seem to find it quite agreeable.

I thought half the fun behind the Liana was that it was a rubbish car.

Whereas the Swift is actually quite a good car, removing the fun.

My money : A Hyundai of some sort. Preferrably the Accent.

Well I wonder if Suzuki have some sort of deal with them where they provide the cars and repairs when needed, and in return their car is on the show every week obviously.

Of course maybe not..

Has anyone suggested Sabine yet?

I'd love to see the Nurburgring be the new test track images/smilies/biggrin.gif

A Golden retriver could be what's replacing the 'Star in a reasonably priced car'.........somehow......... images/smilies/lol.gif

Jezzabelle · April 23rd, 2006, 06:11 PM

She is definately NOT a Golden Retriever. LOL!!!

Kebab gud · April 23rd, 2006, 06:21 PM

is she a well known media or racing figure?

Exano · April 23rd, 2006, 11:59 PM

Yikes. Im scared. Im happy with the current crew, I would really hate to see the space between them seperated.

Buktu · April 24th, 2006, 12:09 AM

But is she going to fit in? I dunno.. A new presenter just seems wrong. That's the beauty of Top Gear.. The presenters fit so prefectly together. If this woman, bautiful or not, doesnt "match" the three others, then it could be bad.. :/

here's wishing for something decent... like a 3 series

or a mondeo - clarkson loves those

or it will probably be something shit. like..... a vauxhall corsa.

BerserkerCatSplat · April 24th, 2006, 02:38 AM

Hmm... I wonder if the new presenter is the "Safir" (sp) mentioned in 7x03? She's already a member of the Top Gear crew, we've never seen her on TV, and Hammond expressed a ...fancy... for her. She sounds like a good candidate, as she'd already be familiar with the Top Gear format.

Well, that's my guess! images/smilies/biggrin.gif

arsemonky · April 24th, 2006, 02:44 AM

I was just speculating it was a woman. Geeez, Talk about a firestorm of gossip!

flyingfridge · April 24th, 2006, 03:46 AM

Vauxhall Monaro for reasonably priced car!!! Think about it, an entertaining rear drive, V8 sideways machine, and putting people who drive shit in it. It's a recipe for success!!

The TG guys are always banging on about how good value it is so while it may be more expensive, it's still 'reasonably priced'...

arsemonky · April 24th, 2006, 03:59 AM

That's a good idea, but they would have had to buy one very soon because every knows Holden-Vauxhall in all their wisdom closed production down.

However, the new VE Commodore (what the next Monaro for 2007-2008 will be based on) is looking rather promising

Wouldn't that mean moveing everything ti germany.....and find a old airport...and each race around the track would take forever.

Still would be awsome!

arsemonky · April 24th, 2006, 04:02 AM

I cant find May's rant in 06x02. Do u have a time code?

bartboy9891 · April 24th, 2006, 04:03 AM

its probably clarkson's wife

arsemonky · April 24th, 2006, 04:03 AM

Why would they move to Germany?

Clarkson has, from what I have read, quite a bit of creative control. I very much doubt that he would allow a new cast member to screw up the dynamic.

my money is on someone like John Bentley from Fifth gear...like a go to guy...or Sabine...but she already has a job...and I cant see why she would give it up.
