As much as i hate to see this, i read an article about a superfast Electric car that is faster than most Super Cars, forget its name, it would be great for Clarkson to test this. If not then if only he can gloat about the reports of the Toyota Prius not being the planet saver everybody thought it was images/smilies/smile.gif

I want to see the 599 race against its biggest rival, the McLaren Mercedes SLR. I wanna see Alonso and Hamilton do a lap in the Suzuki Liana.

That electric car your talking about is probably the Tesla Roadster. It could be another one though.

how about putting the accelerometers , g meters and telemetry back in the track test . and an overhead view .
a crazy gearhead mad scientist to explain how things work .briefly or in an entertaining manner ex. talking about the bugatti veyron with the w 16 engine and with full graphics with the crankshaft rotating says " what possessed them to call it the w 16 ,anyway ? well it looks nothing like a 'w'. " then jeremy and the others decide on a new name for the engine .
if jeremy wishes to punish a car , i say attach a set of fins on the rear of the car and drop it out of an aircraft .... with a dummy made to look like james in the drivers seat . after impact , find out if the car has less length than width and what happened to proto-james .

it's a thought.

Caparo T1 on the track, no doubt it will beat CCX to the top spot, new M3 vs some of its rivals so plenty of side-ways action

Would be nice to see some funny challenges, oh and the Caparo T1. Maybe some real-world testing like cars that cost under £50k but i still want supercars lol

I would like to see the next series, don't really mind what's in it.

If I had to choose though, I would like to see hammond drive a shelby cobra 427....

A tuning section would be cool, since they seem to only drive stock cars. Have a brief part of the show highlight a few performance mods to everyday drivers.

^ I semi-agree. I love the challenges, but indeed miss the car reviews. Make it less like Series 9 and more like Series 6 and 7 for example.

If they could find the balance between proper car reviews and challenges like they used to be able to do, then TG will be even better. We need the challenges because they can be quite enjoyable, but it is a car show and I miss the reviews.

I enjoy the reviews where they take 3 cars out on a road trip, eg. Isle of Man (911, Aston and BMW) or Paris Supercars
