Sounds like a Top Gear special coming up, or a Veyron based challenge in the new series.

I used to really like Top Gear, but, although it was never meant to be taken seriously and was to be a good laugh, it seems to have moved away from cars and is more about mucking around with other stuff. I'd really like to see them get back to the things they were doing and talking about two years ago.

Ayrton Senna: WDC 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991
McLaren: WCC 1974, 1984, 1985, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1998, 1999, 2007
McLaren: WDC 1974, 1976, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1998, 1999, 2008

When will they review the new EVO X and STi? And when will they review the F430 Scuderia? Thats what I want to see.

They do at least one car review a show but i'd like to see it be increased to 2. The mucking around is a great part of the show and i hope they keep it up!

Yes I agree, I would like to see a bit more of the cars but the fun part is great I think.
I would hate for it to be like 5th gear which I find I fast forward the boring bits.

I agree also. Top Gear is meant to be entertaining, but it's gone just a little bit too far. As for Fifth Gear:

Ayrton Senna: WDC 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991
McLaren: WCC 1974, 1984, 1985, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1998, 1999, 2007
McLaren: WDC 1974, 1976, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1998, 1999, 2008

although i like the 'fun' its now far to obviously staged
i try to see it as fun but its just annoying, the field ploughing, caravan burning etc, they try to make mistakes, therefore they arent mistakes,

and yeah more car reviews of reasonably priced nice cars would be nice, 1 super car, 1 nice car, by nice i mean i could have one with some saving

I think the middle one is the 'Pur Sang' edition, of which there are only 5 in the world. It has just the plain aluminium and carbon fibre exterior scheme. I wonder how they got hold of that one
