That's a hatchback, and the GT86/FRS/BRZ is a liftback like an old Celica.

Hmm, the SIARPC is quite good this week, if you usually skip it, I'd give it a chance.

The BRZ is a coupe, it has a trunk, the back window isn't part of it. the 500 is a hatchback. the 500c is a tent with a trunk. Richard hammond brought this to a hatchback comparo.

She could be telling me exactly the precise steps I need to accomplish to save my life from impending doom and I'd probably tune out and start thinking about anything more interesting like how chip board is made or what that dark stuff under my fingernail is. I don't even remember what their her and Clarkson were talking about.

Golf money for the Toyota? Hell, the Vauxhall Corsa, in VXR Nurburgring form, is ｣22,380 before you look at the options list.

Star War Sex Parrot posted:At least she actually talked a bit about cars. What more do you want? I would have loved to hear more about the cars that she's owned. Details, impressions, quirky anecdotes, why she likes the R8 so much she bought 3, anything interesting at all. The car her mum drove when she was growing up and her impressions of that. I thought it was a fairly wooden interview (yes ok she's a young, hot celebrity who's into cars and maybe that's enough; we'll take it)

I just saw a Top Gear episode with Hammond in a Daytona Coupe racing James in a boat to a bar in some coastal city in Italy. Can somebody tell which season/episode that was? The Daytona was so

Hmmm I dunno. I've found this series so far to be kinda soulless. Maybe it's because the guys are getting older. The premise of this episode was interesting but the whole thing fell flat to me; same with the USA special last week.

Just made me depressed about the lovely trains on my continent. I get distance/my tax dollars/right of way stuff makes it impossible for the US to have non-lovely rail, but drat. They were bitching up a storm when their train was only doing 80 through the mountains. 80 being the projected top speed for the 'high speed rail' we're going to spend a few billion dollars not getting between Chicago and St. Louis (and only 10mph faster than the existing rail line)

I always assumed only the crazy bullet trains in Japan could go that fast.

I could've sworn Clarkson lost a race where he took a train and May beat him in a car. Hammond was on a bike.

I think Clarkson summed it up when he stared at the camera and just smiled - it's a car you buy because you can enjoy it at the maximum without breaking every driving regulation on the books.

he probably would have won if he'd taken the Eurotunnel. Honestly, who takes the stupid ferry when the tunnel gets you across in 35 minutes?

The Stang looks great, and sure it copped a bit due to its NVH compared to other Euro/Japanese. Clarkson slammed the Falcon GT in a newspaper article for the same reason, even throwing in "it can't corner" which is something the Aussie built muscles cars could do compare to US models.
