As they have said eventually they are going to return to being a car program, once the buzz and hype about top gear dies down they can go back to being a program for car fans and still know they will get a few million viewers a week.
SUV thing: I really enjoyed this. Classic Top Gear with no gimmicks-for-the-sake-of-gimmicks. Obviously the cars were going to be wasting and expensive.

When did they say this??
Andy Wilman said this in one of his TG blog columns. And I really hope this is true. The show is kind of hitting its limit for cheap laughs and it will be refreshing to see the show scale down and go back to what it used to be,
so, i'm still wondering, Did Jezza really do the jump nearly at the end, same applies at the upside down in the tunnel thingy, i kind of think it was a Stunt man, any thoughts ?
Airport racing - better than I expected it to be since it was a leftover but the whole "Touring Car Drivers trashing another form of transport" is getting really lame.
News - is it ever going to be funny ever again?
4x4's - dull, pointless, and several minutes of my life I will never get back.
Guy Ritchie - no wonder Madge divorced him. What a dull bastard.
Twingo - essentially a rehash of the Fiesta thing and the only thing that prevented this episode scoring a 1.
Actually quite glad they aren't on next week then the memory of tonight has a chance to fade before 14x05 which I may then be able to sit down and watch with some enthusiasm.
tunnel would have been stunt man
as for the jump at the end, i think they outfitted the car to use the compressed air method to go flying. seeing as a window is blown out, that can be the only explanation.
Yes, either they used compressed air, but I think they more likely pulled it with a steel cable like its done with crash tests... Anyway there was nobody sitting in the car and this wasn't CGI (believe me, i work in this business)...
The tunnel bit I don't know either and I don't care a lot to be honest, but I think it was Jeremy himself, since it wasn't more dangerous than the airport race because the tunnel diameter was very small...
