So Jeremy’s turned his opinion around on the BMW M3 after testing it against the Lexus IS-F. You’d be a cock not to buy one apparently, and wasn’t it fast out on the track?
Kevin McCloud was another quick revelation in Star in a Reasonably Priced Car, and he certainly had grand designs on the top spot – boodum tish! – but sadly for him he narrowly missed out. Will Jay Kay ever be toppled?
Bus racing was a riot – The Mole really wants to turn his hand to that – and Hammond’s run in the 40 year old Ferrari Daytona against May in his multimillion-pound powerboat in a race from Portofino to St Tropez was what Top Gear’s all about. But maybe not getting busted by the police.
The Mole’s not sure you should by either, but the Daytona was infinitely cool. We kind of want one, even if Clarkson doesn’t.
So how was it for you?

Awesome show. If only the Australian version was doing it some justice. Ditch the Australians, or atleast get some decent presenters!

about that V8…..Kevin said”use a V8 to fulfill the ultimate male obsession” and Jezza said “surely internet pornography is the ultimate male obsession” thing, I may have found a solution. How about this:
The Corvette ZR1 has a 640 bhp V8 and a head-up display showing a lateral G readout and the speedo but instead of that hook it up with Wifi and use the head-up to show porn…..
Of course, you’d have a difficult time explaining to the police how you actually managed to carsh the car on the M4 in the middle of the day and still be happy enough not to give a damn!

Anyone interested in taking a look at videos of the Porsche Panamera, go here:
http://www.cardesignnews. com/site/home/new_cars/pa ge/?portlet_action=true&a ction_wid=2738#142919
Funny how so many of the shots are from so low down. Funny also how much better it looks from that angle, one only toddlers and dwarves will ever view it from.

I totally agree with Dave#37…this was probably one of the most boring episodes so far! I mean I loved the Daytona, it’s one of my favourite Ferrari’s, but the show just didn’t seem to get anywhere!
You can’t follow up on the Zonda F and the mighty Veyron, with a BMW and a Lexus!
My wife (who doesn’t really watch as keenely as I do) even commented that it was boring and that it was strange that I was dissapointed!
Never-the-less I’m sure this weeks show will be more up to standard!
It’s still the best show on TV!

Found the IS-F VS M3 section a bit unfair. They are aimed at different people, the M3 is still clearly aimed at cocks but the Lexus is so much cooler, its not for badge snobs and looks much better. You will never see hundreds of look-a-like IS-F cruising council estates!
As for the boat vs daytona it was beautifully shot but clearly the presenters were the wrong way round? James in the classic and over enthusiastic Hammond in the big boys toy boat? and the police seemed too staged for me.
Finally looking at the damage on the side of the veyron they put round the track I’m guessing it wasn’t on fresh rubber (like the Zonda) so it might have gone faster still.

Great show, but i didn’t really like Clarksons or Hammons opinoin on the cool-wall, a GT-R isn’t sub zero? It’s basically a skyline, but much faster and better looking. And the skyline is one of the “coolest” cars ever! At least among teenagers. I don’t know, but i think it’s wayyy cooler than a Db9, besides it’s more special.
GTR Rocks!
best series so far.
So does top gear

i like the show on last sunday. jezza,hamster and captain slow are really the pure expertise on cars. they should now tune up the show. they should do a big challenge that they have never done before. such as: how hard can it be to build a car of their chosing???

A Nissan GTR, gadget festooned, rice rocket is cooler than an Aston Martin DB9? Are you serious Capp? The GTR is impressive, but it is neither beautiful nor cool. It is for gadget nerds who want to go fast but haven’t got the talent to do so safely. Its NetNanny-on-wheels basically… and my gawd isn’t it Fugly. The GTR deserves its place on the wall. The Volvo V70 does not however. It might scrape into the cool category for its Q-car performance, and subtle Scandanavian style, but thats it.

Been reading some of the above comments; a mix of positive and ‘boring’.
Well I thought the show was great, and is exactly what I expect from, and love about, TopGear.
The people who say it was boring are entitled to their opinion, but I’m guessing they wouldn’t be happy unless there were more ‘hot americans’ (quote) and ‘V8 stairlifts’ (quote).
They wouldn’t be able to sit through anything, no matter how beautifully shot (which the Ferrari/boat piece was by the way), well written or brilliantly produced it was, unless there were explosions and naked women.
However, there are viewers out there who appreciate TG for what it’s meant to be, and yes we still love the funny/silly stuff (buses piece was fab for example) but we can and do notice all your hard work.
My guess is the V8 blender fans don’t, and I resent the fact they could (and have; episode 3) bring TopGear down to the level of most of the cr*p on the other channels.
Don’t become yet another shoddy entertainment program to satisfy the morons, who will get bored quickly and move on to the next in thing and try to ruin that. ‘Driven’ tried it (remember them?) and look what’s happened to that show.
P.S. If you do read these comments, maybe post a ‘Producers Response’ to let us know which way you’re going to go with the show. If you haven’t decided yet I hope you do what’s best for TG’s long term future.
Dare I say it… time for a period off air for a while to rethink?

If I were deranged enough to wear that watch, I’d need to have a plinth nearby to rest my wrist.
Seriously, that thing is like a hockey puck on a strap.

From the USA here.. I have driven the M3, C63 AMG and the IS F and let me tell you.. the M3 is without question superior. The AMG is wickedly fast but there is somthing special that M3 possesses that the other cars seem to lack. You notice it as soon as you get behind the wheel.. it’s that good. Drive one. You’ll see.
