Top Gear Season 14

I'm must be some sort of gigantic grouch because I thought today's episode was awful.

*Touring car drivers destroying oddball vehicles. It wasn't that funny the first time they did it. Nor was it the second time... Who in their right mind would think it would be the third.

*Let's all laugh at the pointless German 4x4s, but let's allow Clarkson's irrational love of Range Rovers shine through?

*Another boring guest that cannot drive for toffee, has no real interest in cars (Sprinter Van, Q7 AND a Range Rover? :confused:) and another dull Movie to plug.

*Another Tongue in cheek mock car review that in all essence, you can't really take seriously. Do you really think Renault were going to donate a car to Top Gear regardless of Clarkson's opinions? I think not. Just reminds me that you have to take EVERYTHING that show says with a heaping bowl of salt.

They weren't even creative in destroying it. Driving a car pointlessly into the sea, where have we seen that before? :rolleyes:

A massive let down from the Lancia feature of last week.
 
^^^It's an entertainment program, and it had my parents and myself fully entertained throughout.

Heck, it even stopped them looking at booking their holiday next year to watch it so they're doing something right.

Imo it was a great episode, Ross Kemp was completely random! I liked how the X5M was faster than a 911 (can't remember which one) too - scary.

Your not a Grouch. You just think a 2009 motoring entertainment show should be a Discovery channel 'History of motoring' show.

This.

I imagin Renault show rooms accross the country will be full of people wanting to test drive Twingo sports tomorrow. £12,000 wouldnt even get you a 20 second TV advert. Would it even get you a decent radio advert?

Why all the talk of 12 grand anyway - it doesn't cost Renault anywhere near 12k, unless you take the potential sale of that car into account.
While I thought the episode was pretty good I still can't see the point in the destruction of a perfectly good vehicle. It wouldn't have been so bad if it was an old scrapper they'd destroyed! :)

They crash loads of twingos anyway for the NCAP crap, so what is the difference?

At least this way they may get some money back.

PS great episode.
 
TG appears to be getting back on track slowly

the destruction of that twingo was a bit pointless, but at least DannyW will get a bargain!
 
Only caught the last 30 mins, but this was more of what I expect from Top Gear... just goes to show you can review affordable cars and it can be entertaining!
 
What happened to this bit?

"At the other end of the intellectual spectrum, James May tests the new Vauxhall Insignia VXR in the company of Margaret Calvert, the lady responsible for inspired design philosophy behind the familiar British road sign."
