I feel beneath the White
There is a red skin suffering
From centuries of taming
Kings of the Wild Frontier, Adam and the Ants
Anyone else catch the heisenberg reference in the 458, it was subtle, and probably unintentional

Ah! :lol:Yup. The car that can not know where it is and how fast it is going at the same time
Some of the Ferrari engineers built in a lovely in-joke
Get over yourself. Yes, one car you didn't like was featured. Yes, you revel in being ignorant about history and being willfully ignorant about things like industrial collapse. Not everyone does.

When he mentions about the speed/position, either you know your speed and not position, or you know your position and don't know the speed
They did the "why don't we have a motor-industry anymore?"-whine a few times already and it got old and repetitive rather quickly this time. One visit to an old factory would've been enough ... one or two bits about them "cheating" on the tests would've been enough. That would've kept the piece shorter and would've allowed to review the SLS (perhaps as a double-feature with the 458?).
While I generally liked it the heavy sarcasm may have been a bit much, and took something away from the segment
Damn I didn't catch that. But to be pedantic, the car probably measures both the position and speed all the time, only the driver can't access both values at the same time. And speaking of pedantic...

If people don't like certain products, the companies that are producing them are going down. Boohoo. And if YOU wouldn't be oblivious to history, you would know that this is nothing new.

On a side note: Detroit was going down because AMERICANS didn't buy those cars. And if they didn't want them, who else should, and why? If I look at American cars from the 80s... What pieces of sh-- they produced. I think after 2000 there was sort of a big turnaround. Still, compared to German or Japanese cars, American cars are oversized and too showy. I cannot picture a lawyer or a doctor in Europe, driving an American car. Where I live, American cars mean SHOW. Right now, there is actually a Hummer parked outside of my house, I think it's an H2. And I know, the owner doesn't have to worry about something like a reputation. Otherwise he wouldn't drive that car.
My favorite American car is the Ford Mustang. Regular, factory model. No crazy tuning, Cobra or whatever. I heard that they are tinkering with the looks of that car. Making it rounder, cutting edges... If they ruin this great car, it's their own f--- fault.
Top Gear is about great cars and entertainment. That's right, I don't care about dead race drivers or collapsing industries. There are so many of them, they could turn it into a depressing series. If I want to be depressed, I watch the news. Everything is changing, soon there might be cars from China or even India everywhere on the roads. How about electric cars? Like they would come from America. So many technologies that were basically handed over to Asia. These days: What is not produced in China??? And that means that more companies and industries will go down. Is Top Gear supposed to turn that into a weekly documentary, the weekly whining?
"Oh, me big knowledge about history, cause I like to lament the inevitable." Pff.
History. The SLS, that is pure history. Based on an iconic classic.

Like I wrote, for me the production of the show has improved in this series. They did cut out all the comic book special effects, that were ridiculous. The overall filming looks classy. Sometimes too dark on top, too dramatic. Tom Cruise was definitely a highlight of SIARPC. But it might be locals too, as long as they're funny or entertaining. Jeff Goldblum was kind of weird (like always). My request for SIARPC would be Her Majesty The Queen..., Elton John. :lol: JOKING, it's a joke. The last two News segments..., I don't know what that was, it wasn't the news. James May returning to the Veyron was good. I can't believe this was already the last episode for this summer.
Not having the SLS in this series was a definite letdown!
I genuinely can't respect anyone who claims to be an enthusiast and then comes out and says they don't care about Ayrton Senna. He's a lot more than just a dead racing driver, and if your head wasn't so far up your ass you'd realize that.
As for not caring about the late British car industry, if you forget your past you're doomed to repeat it, and there was also a lot of value in it. I'm sorry you can't find value in the film, but given some of your comments, you don't seem to be able to find value in a lot of valuable things. I actually pity you a little.
I've just gone back to read all of your bitching, I guess it is because they didn't show the SLS? As far as I know, sales haven't even started yet,
