This just in, the smart car, fiat 500, and scion IQ make terrible pick-up trucks. If you're in the market for a pick-up truck you can scratch those off the list right now. Also, small cars don't adequately make up for a small penis, if you have a small penis you definitely need a bigger vehicle. Useful consumer advice, there.

neckbeard posted:Finally got around to watching the new TGUS episodes, the format of the episodes is a definite step in the right direction. Just having all 3 of them together for the majority of the episode builds the dynamic of the hosts relationship and how we see it so much better. does an actual E7 exist yet? It took them over 4 years to build a model they could push around to car shows.

They seem to be making the show more about the personalities and less about the cars, the problem is the personalities are TEEEEEERRRIIIBBLLEEEE. Rather than the cars in the challenges being the cars, they are in every situation part of the terrible hosts character.

Another "buy cars and WRECK EM YEE HA! AMERICA gently caress YEAH SHOOTIN GUNS!" episode, and considering the next one is about RVs, it's probably not going to be any different. This show is turning into a demolition derby documentary faster than the channel it's on turned into the alien channel. The last segment also showed that the navy needed an hour, 4 helicopters and like 30 men to do what the top gear camera crew did 40 times in that hour.

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.

The GT86 is nearly twice the price of the base model Cee'd, that doesn't really qualify as reasonably priced.

coolskillrex remix posted:Part of the problem also stems from hot hatches just being really boring cars to review in general. I don't know, that review kinda made me want a fiesta ST, i just wish it was priced a little more reasonably here, i mean, for $400 more you can get a fusion with the same drivetrain.

wolrah posted:Isn't that sort of the point of the ST? Sort of the muscle car logic, the motor from your bigger cars stuck in the small one for fun? The Fusion has more than an extra foot in between the axles and another 600 pounds, it's not exactly a peppy handling machine like the Fiesta. In a way it is the point, But this particular car is more expensive in canada than it is in the UK, including the VAT in the uk price, and adding 500gbp for the 3-door/5-door difference. A $5,300 difference US to canada on a $22,000 car is massive, especially considering the difference US to canada on the fusion is about $800. It puts it into an entirely different price class of cars including the mustang, camaro, and challenger.

The hammond and may parts were terrible. Hammonds in particular seemed to have been edited by a 3 year old with the crown vic jumping around so much it almost looked like there were 8 of them out there. Clarkson has balls jumping a ferrari in the rain.

Data Graham posted:I'm not as up on my geography of England as I should be, but what part of Hertfordshire was he showing off in the F12 segment? I've been combing over it in Google Earth for twenty minutes now and it all looks like virtually flat farmland. Where were those shots of lonely desolate winding roads through snow-flecked mountains taken? The town he drives through is Pitlochry scotland, so the far far northern part of Hertfordshire, far northern part, like really far. People seem not to have gotten the joke, but there is a big red "Pitlochry" van that drives between the camera and clarkson, and clarkson drives by a whole bunch of signs that say "Pitlochry", to give away the fact that he's not in Hertfordshire. e: Found the road here because i'm REALLY good at google. You can match up that road off to the right with the frame when clarkson says "it's motoring nirvana." http://goo.gl/maps/cYzyr So yeah, far nothern Hertfordshire Powershift fucked around with this message at 04:18 on Jul 8, 2013 |

It didn't seem scripted to me, at all. Now that some of you have pointed it out, i'll go back and see if i can spot any subtle hints, but i really think it was all real and legit. Clarkson and may were so unscathed by the explosions because they've been in so many. It's like poison, you build up a tolerance.

I'm surprised how they didn't showcase how even on the larger highways, the speed limit slows down to 70kph every 3 fuckin miles just for gas stations. Or maybe that's just normal to them.
