The Panda is hardly what I'd call "rare" or "future classic".. it's a mass produced, cheap, sensible car. Destroying one is like destroying a washing machine (an old washing machine in this case). So, who cares? JC destroying a G-Series 911 in one of his older videos was a lot harder to watch for me.. even the Maserati Biturbo didn't deserve to be squashed IMO.. but the Panda..? Meh..
Anyway: I thought it was a pretty solid effort... even though they spent a little too much time on the good cars and didn't focus quite enough on the bad ones. And using a modern day M5 as the yardstick against two US luxury cars from the 70s? Should have been a Mercedes 6.3 or something similar from the period.
The ending was ok I thought .. at least they didn't do the obvious (throw the car off a cliff/blow it up/etc. )
I liked their car choices (both good and bad) and (as mentioned before) I always like JC and JM presenting together.
All in all: Pretty good stuf... but not really enough to make up for the lack of "actual" Top Gear this winter..
