On low-volume-plastic-bodied-British-sports-cars Top Gear, Jeremy and
Richard battled it out to find the best shed-built supercar in the UK,
James took a look at a truly enormous Cadillac and comedian, actor and
all-round nice chap Alan Davies got to grips with was our reasonably
priced car.
On high-tech Top Gear, we got a glimpse of the future of car design,
Captain Jean Luc Picard flew by at warp factor 0.0001, and we looked at
the new Vauxhall family car.
On fun-filled Top Gear, Richard and James enjoyed life under canvas, an
Alfa Romeo waved its arms about a lot, and Darth Vader took on the
fiercest evil in the known universe.
On safety-concious Top Gear, we had a man behaving badly (while obeying
the rules of the road) in our reasonably priced car, and lots of safe
and responsible stuff.
On Top Gear's man-sized blast from the past, James pondered the cabrio
question and we discovered which takes longer to change, a gearbox or a
woman's outfit?
Next, bad cars. We used to rely on Wartburgs and Polski-Fiats, but now
we have the Audi A2, a car that's too tall, has narrow windows and
shakes when you switch on the wipers. Then there's the Ford Fusion,
based on a Fiesta, but you pay that bit more to sit a bit higher. We
could go on, but there's no need - Richard has. He drove the new Lexus
SC430 and didn't much like the styling. In fact, he was so unimpressed
with the coupé that he'd rather drive Hyundai's new contender.
