  1. +Daniel Leong Still, the window is higher than the bottom of the steering wheel (or the knees of the driver, I'm not sure what the limit was in the video). It'd have gotten quite far by the time it's leaked all the way down there; the car is well-built. Or at least, it ought to be, for a million quid.

  2. James is actually a very good driver, he just doesn't like driving like a hooligan. That only further illustrates how much of a great character he is.

  3. Sebastian Ochs It's a Top Gear video. And the BBC, who uploaded this, are responsible for the death of Top Gear. So it's reasonable to comment about it.

  4. Joe Cool Driving under influence? Haven't heard that, yet. But anyway, a large fine will do, shut up about it already and bring him back, BBC.

  5. Japanese cars are tough. Very tough.

  6. It hasn't driven in both directions yet. The wind may have influenced that 'record'. Besides, the Veyron is infinitely better in every other way.

  7. dutch NFS Gaming Beat me to it. Supporting the Dutch voice here.

  8. Yeahhhh, how do you feel now! I've got a point! Oh my god, the brakes. Priceless XD

  9. dragonage200 Did you read any of the things I just said?

  10. ScoutSpyScout Of course it wouldn't work if you take out the battery, but like I said, that's not the point. Deconstructing =/= killing. And we weren't even talking about the Prius.

  11. ***** It is, but that's why it's cool. Mark my words, in five years all the hipsters will be driving one. Mind you, hipsters are awful...

  12. Postghost Yeah, the Dutch language is difficult. And that G sound sounds like throwing up to people who speak other languages. Glad I don't have to go through that painful process to learn Dutch, I'm a native speaker :D

  13. thomynator28 Ascari is a British company founded by a Dutchman. So it sort of counts.

  14. +Domenico Guerra Can't I instead smoke pot and walk around all day naked without caring about the environment?

  15. Andrew Phillips In fact, I do. They're all great presenters, though James is my favourite.

  16. Hammond would get in immediately. That would be too successful. Of course, Matt still fails to pull the 'ambitious but rubbish card' properly, but Jezza wouldn't have.

  17. +Patrick Rauchenecker I'd have the RC F because it's a more original choice. But I'd have a C63 S AMG over both of them anyway.

  18. andyouf I guess you could cover the car with primitive plates and windows yourself and call it a body, roof and windshield? Heh.

  19. Cool Blue Wait, Norway? Where did you get that from?

  20. Phil Perry Well, it's food, meaning it depends on your taste. I personally love fish and chips. You're right about the BAC Mono, but what exactly makes the others not outstanding?

  21. SIXITHS This. There is absolutely nothing I can add to this, nor is there anything I can criticise. It's just pure truth.

  22. Nyako Neko Jeremy has his job because he doesn't know what he is doing.

  23. jimpaokara You're wrong. And it was already a rubbish argument to begin with.

  24. donkgated AMG's aren't a good example. Fast versions of cars tend to be less reliable than their more humble counterparts.
    3
  25. donkgated It's not the only indication, mind you. I'd never really buy a Toyota myself, but that doesn't mean it's not a great brand.

  26. Sai Sankar Warrier It's not as simple as that, though he has a point. The A6 is a very good car, but it's also extremely uneventful. It has no appeal to car enthusiasts beyond 'it's nice'. Its appeal is largely that it's expensive and can do many things, much like those watches that can call in rescue squads. Most German cars are like this.

  27. Petr Šimčík Does it really count as Central Europe? I suppose it did before the Cold War, but now?

  28. The Skoda Superb (a lengthened VW Passat) laughs at the leg space of an old Cadillac. The Citroën C6 laugs at the long-distance driving capabilities of an old Cadillac. Almost every single European or Japanese car laugs at the fuel consumption of an old Cadillac. Also, good luck with V8 'power', getting less than 200 bhp out of a 5+ litre engine.

  29. Kirk SB Golf, winning at life, these things don't really seem to combine very well. A Golf is not a sign of winning at life regardless of what condition it's in. An original Golf makes you one of the many, boring, mediocre people; a tuned one will make you look like an 18-year-old with no taste. The i8 makes you look like someone with taste, someone who isn't afraid to do things differently.

  30. Firemarioflower If a 'Museum of Hypocrisy' were ever to be constructed, your comment should be printed on a giant wall in the main entrance hall, labelled 'The Essence of Hypocrisy'. You're telling us we can't bear a different opinion, even though you're constantly telling us our opinions are completely and objectively wrong. If that's not hypocrisy, then nothing is.

  31. Hee, nog meer Nederlanders!

  32. MR.T Well, he's back to a Top Gear live show. Not the actual programme, though, sadly...
    3
  33. Jethro Vitorio Scultor Well, I can only agree with all that.
    2
  34. Jethro Vitorio Scultor True. I'd still have an M5 of the same period, though.

  35. ***** Fair enough (though in that case I'd spend more than 500 quid to at least have a car that isn't rubbish), but that's not really the point of this conversation. MBHerbig By 'those cars', do you mean the ones in the video or the ones I proposed?
    2
  36. Doge Gaming In that case, I'd have a new MX-5.
    2
  37. Doge Gaming Well, that depends on your taste. I love the MX-5 :)

  38. Nodoka Hanamura The Fiat Coupé is a great car, very underrated.
    2
  39. Nodoka Hanamura To be fair, he was doing it on purpose to mock the ricers in the video.

  40. Not disliking because of Harris. If only it were him, Rory Reid and perhaps LeBlanc. Or just an entirely different format that doesn't try too desperately to be Top Gear.
    2
  41. Cut de Pie Fails You're probably right. He's decent at best, but a relief in the many segments he co-presents alongside Evans, who is the worst aspect of the programme by miles.

  42. *give that man the Nobel Savagery Prize

  43. +cytherians I'm the opposite of you. That's why I drive a Quattroporte in my dreams
    2
  44. booster448 Yes, about that, where can I find it? Regardless of what Jeremy has done, they shouldn't suspend him until after the last episode of Series 22.

  45. Joshua Moy I signed it too. They're close to a million now, and it's only been on for what, four days?

  46. *****  You don't have to like the Prius (I don't like it either. If anything, I can appreciate it). But you're overreacting. The Prius does deserve to be called a car. A car, as in an automobile, a car that moves by propelling itself. A Prius does that, and comes with four wheels. It's road legal too. Sure, it's ugly, has no personality and is in no way exciting, but that doesn't mean you're right in bashing it like this. Or sticking to petrol and manuals ever so conservatively. I love cars, but I'm open to alternative drivetrains (e.g. Tesla Model S). Not for the environment - making electricity produces CO2 - but I'm just fascinated by the fact that it's different than usual. You're just being dramatic for no reason.
    2
  47. Snarl616 You're probably right, but that doesn't diminish the fact that Series 22 was amazing.
    2
  48. Hammond did and does all kinds of shows besides Top Gear. He was on Brainiac as well.

  49. The Venom will oversteer into a tree because it's a Lotus with a rocket in its arse ;)

  50. +michael jagger Unless whoever did the rebuilt has done a terrible job. Which is the case with Jezza's car; it would only rev to 4000 rpm.
