Parts of that episode were so funny that I had to pause it because I couldn't breathe. Overall, I liked the episode. Can't wait for next week's.

Only in Clarksons hands! he seemed to be going out of his way to make it look bad! eg another corvette that can't handle corners, he couldn't even do a proper burnout(in the US) while banging it off the limiter.

Note how composed it is when the Stig drives it though! Plus not mentioning the fact it was a wet track & by their reckoning could have gone as much as 2sec quicker, which would put it ahead of the GTR

It was below the GTR, but it did the 1:20.4 on a wet track versus the dry track time for the GTR.

That's some pretty nice company. Save for the Nissan, the rest are nearly double the price.

I think if the world does come to an end in 2012 it'll probably be because this bunch of crazy idiots decide to smash 2 caravans together in the large hadron collider, instead of atoms.

Even though I'm not that much of a fan of lancia, I enjoyed the most recent episode.

I'm just confused how GM wasn't mentioned for the greatest cars ever... lol.
