I have to watch it a second time (strangely I always start to like or dislike Top Gear episodes always after the 2nd or 3rd watching) but I think it was better, than most of the comments in here suggest.
However, I'm asking myself: Why are they repeating the cars being art theme -- or rather if anything car-related can be art or not -- so often?
Somebody clearly has a pathological obsession with that topic.
So listen up, whoever you are, who has that obsession: The question, whether cars are art or not, is completely, utterly, totally, absolutely irrelevant and unimportant. It's a non-topic. Nobody outside of the Top Gear team has ever seriously asked himself that question.
Cars are machines for transportation and (in some cases) toys to have fun with.
That's it.
I really, really hope that we have seen the last of that "Car Art Theme" now. It is so mindblowingly irrelevant, that it almost creates its own vaccum.
About the Noble: Nice car but by Jeremy's own logic he should hate it. Because it is the sort of car, which is more than he can handle -- like for example the Porsche 911 GT2. But of course the Noble is British, so it would never get a negative review
Thus the real problem of Top Gear to me is the unfortunate tendency to become more and more biased and unfair with the car reviews (the few that are left). TG has never been a paragon of fairness and objectivity (and rightly so!) but I think they are stretching it a bit too far now.
