Default the 6 red cars on the begining of top gear (befor season 8)

Before season 8, the first scene of TG is always 6 red cars doing a circle in front of the studio. My question is what cars are these.

As far as I can tell, they are (in order): F355, Mini, MG estate, civic, polo, Jaguar X. Any other thoughts?

I think the first one is a 360, but the rest are right. images/smilies/smile.gif

It was a civic type R and indeed a 360 and not a 355!

What's the Polo doing there? XD

It's like they needed another red car and couldn't find one, so they borrowed the cameraman's car. images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Maybe it was there to represent Jason Dawe's 'sensible motoring' section of the show? Or as you say maybe a red BMW or whatever didn't turn up so they had a look in the car park.
