The team find out if you can buy a stylish two door coupe for less than 1,500 pounds; a look at the new supercar from Maserati - the MC12; Jack Dee is the 'Star in a Reasonably Priced Car', plus a chance for viewers to have their say on the Greatest Driving Song of All Time.
 
I'm so looking forward to that used car bit, if it's anything like the other two :thumbsup:
 
Hopefully Jeremy won't win this time :p

Here's the answer to a stylish 2-door coupe. :lol:

Promises to be a good ep. :)
 
stylish 2-door coupes... hmm...

Here's a list of what I think they might go for (in order of value):

Hyundai Accent - mid 90s (a cheap and modern looking car - a definate contender imo)
Toyota Supra - late 80s (not particularly 'coupe like' - but a very fast car)
Honda Civic - late 80s (Jezza has owned one before - will he again?)
Porsche 924 - early 80s (probably not seeing as it was covered in the last one)
Honda Civic - mid 90s (quite cutesy, again Jezza is a Civic fan, so maybe)
Jaguar XJS - mid 80s (sexy car, very British - very possible)
Ford Probe - mid 90s (a very good looking car, but not a good performer - plentiful though, so maybe)
Audi Quattro - late 80s (still an icon (in some parts), so maybe)
Toyota MR2 - late 80s (a classic shape, very stylish in it's day - but I feel unlikely nonetheless)
Nissan 300 ZX - late 80s (an outsider I feel, but we might get a surprise)
Toyota Celica - early 90s (a powerful car with some nice curves, but I doubt the team would like it too much)
Fiat Coupe - late 90s (sexy car, with good handling and a bit of speed, pushing the budget though, but a contender)
Ford Cougar - early 00s (hot, hot, hot imo :p still in the shadow of the Puma though - maybe)
TBC...


What do you think so far?
 
So far, I think the Ford Probe is one of the least stylish cars ever. :p

Looking forward to Jack Dee. :thumbsup:
