Nath4N Report post Posted February 5, 2014 EPISODE 1 Nothing interesting in the first episode to be honest. They test hot-hatchbacks from 1980s. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrVertigo Report post Posted February 5, 2014 Worthless episode in my opinion, the only thing I enjoyed was the music. The cars themselves were devoid either of interest or fun factors. Am I right in remembering that they didn't actually have a road test? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nath4N Report post Posted February 5, 2014 Am I right in remembering that they didn't actually have a road test? Yupp, only the old hatches and the celebrity in a reasonably priced car. I'm looking forward to the P1 and G63 6x6 tests. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambornima Report post Posted February 5, 2014 I think the only thing they will have this season is the P1. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoreLambo Report post Posted February 6, 2014 I love Top Gear, I love the exotics/hypercars, road-trips, and races - but I do miss "good ol' Top Gear" where they tested cars that I can actually afford. Now the show is either ultra-high end exotics/hypercars, or cheap hot hatches. They haven't said a world about the middle-class segment, and there SO MANY good combos to test. The all new BMW 3-series/4-series, Audi A4/A5, Merc CLA/C-Class, Lexus IS/GS, Cadillac ATS/XTS. M5/M6, RS6/RS7, E-Class. 7-Series, S8, S-Class, Quattroporte. I've seen other peoples' reviews of the new Stingray, new Mustang, new M235i, new Impreza WRX, but not a peep from Top Gear. And they've been doing this for a while now, no test of the Tesla Model S????? I remember when I was interested in a car I would google the top gear review of it, and it would be right there, now - nothing. I know they're old and not in the best condition, and it wouldn't make for the most interesting TV (at least not for "car-guys"), but c'mon...

Igor Report post Posted February 6, 2014 Did Top Gear America die yet? Such a total embarrassment. It's still around. I guess somebody out there likes it enough since they keep producing episodes.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see the C7, Mustang, Quattroporte and Model S 'reviewed' too, but none of them have been launched over here yet (aside from the Maser), or have a strong import market. I imagine they'll get around to them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortitude Report post Posted February 10, 2014 No Nurburgring time or power lap time for the P1. I seriously have no idea why they would tell us they were going to release it, then not do it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
