I'm calling it a 6/10.
Here's the basic problem with the main story: it's essentially a blend of new car review (Rolls + Mercedes) plus cheap car challenge (Lada). That combination is like putting together champagne and single-malt Scotch: they're never meant to be mixed.
Subaru / Ford / Volvo: it doesn't really help that the cars are (a) never going to be made or (b) sold out. Sort of demotivates interest, if you see what I mean.
SIARPC: actually, this is one of the few SIARPC segments that I thought was pretty entertaining. It's to Wossy's credit that he brought up the Mexico controversy, and baiting Clarkson's always good for a laugh.
