[15x03] July 11th, 2010

I know for certain that my enthusiasm for the World Cup finals has dropped off quite a bit, can't wait for this episode. I'm predicting that the Rapide is brilliant for being British, and Clarkson will declare the SS rubbish despite the independent suspension, LOL.

 

[Two Fish]

Looks to be a great episode. I'm guessing the Rapide is going to win over the Porsche, and the Maserati.

Actually I think the Mazz is going to do a solid whomping on that Austin Maxi, as well as that Aston. (Rear headroom -- that's the key.)

I can see the Rapide winning this one, because "It's an Aston". The word ugly and Panamera will be considered one and the same after this show. Maybe Hammond will complain about the Camaro's wafty feel... I don't know.

I go and say that Panamera wins actually other option being the norm "all win". Hammond, James don't seem to mind the looks and that car other than looks have gotten nothing else than praise... then of course this is Top Gear so i'm not sure if there's any reason to go too deep here.

Looking forward for this one.

Hammond in the Porsche
Clarkson in the Rapide
May in the Maser

bet.

Well, it's Wednesday i.e. filming day, so there are pictures from the filming, and particularly from Rubens preparing to do his lap in the old Suzuki...

Some say He has got a nose...?

 

[Night_Hawk]

I can't imagine how much the Camaro will be bashed along side the E63 AMG. I hope they mention price at least one time. But they will probably assume they are direct competetion of one another.

Will Rubens complain of favouritism again?

Only if he can't beat Jenson after two goes. :lol: Target time 1:44.7... I wouldn't be surprised if it's a tie.

There is a 7 Series and a S-Class in the background. But why?

Most likely as a prop to lead into the super-limo test.

Once the Camaro video surfaces on youtube its going to start world war 3. Let's face it, its going to get praised for Character, Looks and sound and going to be shot to death for the rest. I can't wait

I bet the Camaro will be the most garish color you can possibly imagine.

Edit:

Well, if it's red, I'm pretty sure Jezza will grill the Hamster on whether he got it mixed up with the Dodge Challenger he bought a couple of years ago.

 

[Labcoatguy]

Rubens looks like Harry Enfield in that first pic.

And, IMO, for good reason. The styling is my biggest pet peeve with the new Camaro: it looks like the Challenger or a Mustang. The reason I like the old Camaros is because they don't look like either/or.
