    Great news...

    I always wonder how they produce the programme with such a high budget on the BBC. I think it gets sold around the world and this makes up some of the cost.

    In the "Heaven and Hell" DVD Clarkson cuts the roof an Espace. Buys a brand new Perodua and smashes it up outside the dealership and much more!

    Yes good programme although last week they made themselves look like idiots by doing a comparison between a Hyundai Getz a Nissan Micra and a Toyota Aygo which is a car not even in the same class as the other two models, they should have compared them with the Yaris.

    The Getz and Aygo are fairly close in price if you go for a proper spec Aygo (5 door Aura) at €13,700. at lot closer than the Yaris €16500 5dr entry price

    I hope they get a new format - watching it revently I thought it was getting a bit predictable.

    Not to mention the trillions they pay Clarkson from jumping ship to ITV.

    I wonder what they're going to 'race' across Europe in this season. Clarkson will no doubt get the sports car and 'win' even if the others are on a rocket!

    No. It's like the old format TG where they just test drive cars for 30 minutes.

    Most of the cars are either worth less than 15k new or right out of the average person's budget though.

    I enjoyed the Soft top Espace esp round the Millbrook Bowl and I like the way they never identified James Hewitt (post spoken chap) in the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car celeb-fest.

    Does anyone else notice how star-struck the wimmin in the audience look when they are within spiting distance of JC?

    Mike.
