My own thoughts on the show:
- Would care a bit more of those Aussie VXR cars, if Opel had the guts to sell them with LHD here. The supercharger, though... can't decide if it sounds like a baby having a tantrum or my cat, when I stepped on its tail. It's not a sound a car should make and you'd probably get stopped by the police here for that.
- The adversiting bit was very funny and I had to smile through the whole section, because I had a Scirocco with exactly that diesel engine earlier this year and I more or less wrote here on the forum, that it's a great car with an engine that doesn't fit. Some guys didn't believe me, but there you have it, folks: Top Gear confirms me
- Jay Leno was a very interesting and funny guest, much better than most of the recent guests. I wish they had more people that are actually known outside of the UK.
- The Aston bit, well... as artsy and stylish as it was, it felt odd. I neither believe that this car is "an ending" to all fast cars (that's rubbish frankly), nor that it was meant to be an ending for Top Gear. I just think that Jeremy was being dramatic again
- The Cool Wall was very funny, I was laughing a lot -- even if it should have been staged in parts. They should do it more often, because one thing that I missed most in this TG series, was the interaction with the audience. And that was always one of the strengths of the show.
- News were nice and funny, liked the stupid driver/bad cars bit. I have the same opinion: If people don't care about what car they drive, they are probably not interested in driving and therefore have to be bad drivers. I just missed the logical conclusion that choosing a car for the wrong reasons is bad, too (looking at all the Twingo girls out there)
I recently drove a colleague home from work, because her Daihatsu broke down on our parking lot -- and she actually remarked how luxurious my Golf seemed to her :lol:
