    That was quite disappointing, the first episode last week was far superior. WTF was up with the selection of cars, the Lexus is a supercar while the others are clearly not.... I dunno, poor episode IMO.

    Format has gotten really tired, it's all very staged and boring.

    I thought it was one of the better episodes quite hilarious in parts,Hammond was a bit cringworthy though.

    I liked the Viper, disappointed with the Lexus not even a cup holder in it.
    Bollix to cup holders! If you own an LFA then you should be driving the f**king thing, not drinking tea!! :D

    Not the best one i have seen, in my opinion there running out of things to do!

    A good episode of offroading in 4x4's would be good fun, they have never really done this.

    They did the episode where they went through the amazon jungle and across south america in 4x4s, which was a pretty class episode. But yeah they could do another one maybe.

    That was a special. It wasn't really offroad though, not properly.

    They weren't on roads and it was taking hours to move meters, I'd call that off roading.

    I wonder when they will show that episode with scooby... Though knowing Top gear Hamonds scooby will catch fire while doing 40 in second gear... :rolleyes:

    So then Subaru will be marked as most unrelable car in the world by all Petrolheads...

    Yep, yet how ever dodgy you think the fields around Ireland are, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say The Amazon Rain Forest is a bit less travelled and a lot harder going.

    If you're referring to purpous built off road courses they've done that too.
    Range rover sport VS a tank and Mitzi Evo VS the British millitary.
    They've driven across Africa in small classics, they driven across the far east deserts in small convertibles.
    They've even driven around the English country side in a Daihatsu Terios that looked like a fox.
    Why are you so reluctant to admit they've gone off road?
    Sure ****, they drive to the bloody north pole!

    Specials or not, they've done it and I dare say that's a lot more than anyone in this forum has done.

    Question, is this 'New Impreza that's not coming to the UK' not coming to Ireland either, because if it is, it'd boost the Irish motor industry no end.

    Top Gear Korea tried a similar stunt to the UK version and it didn't turn out so well;
