    It's really terrible (worse even than the first SLK, and that's quite an acheivement) but good god did it sound good!

    I think it looks great from the rear, but i've never been a fan of the central thing that comes down the bonnet which ends up having the merc badge in the middle of it. Yuck.

    i think people are misguided in thinking that topgear is a car review show. leave stats and figures and painfully clinical reviews to fith gear or even better, magazines where it works. top gear is car entertainment and should be treated as such. thoroughly enjoyable :D fantastic programme this week.

    No idea, but man! Do I want that car after seeing that episode :jawdrop:

    Gotta love Topgear, best show on TV - PERIOD!
    I have to remember to set a weekly reminder on my phone, only saw it yesterday 'cause I was lurking in bit-irc and saw someone mention it :cooldude:

    They've started showing that show over here on the Discovery Channel Wednesdays at 9:00 (I think). Cool show eventhough I don't know half the cars they drive.

    Mainly cos most cars they drive are European things, or TVRs ;)

    Which kinda makes it pointless to show in the US.

    They occasionally have American cars on, but seeing as there aren't very many good and non-boring ones to choose from, it's usually European ones.

    That F430 was amazing though!

    :sigh: Why do you have to go there? You don't even know what's to choose from as most American made cars aren't shipped over there and the ones that are, are built specifically for the Euro market.

    That's his point, we get the ******** end of the stick, as usual. I'd love to see some US cars over here but they'd either be too big or would never sell because of the fuel efficiency. Compared to the other EU cars on the market they dont fair well to our tastes.

    I dont know about the Ferrari review but they used NIN: With teeth for the mid range soft-top review in iceland.

    Yeah, I meant it like Bindi suggested, I wasn't suggesting all American cars ever were boring, just most of what is available over here. The have often mentioned US cars on TopGear and then say "but they won't be selling it over here".
