I am saving it till tomorrow with the wonders of sky plus. Its better that way, I can watch an episode in about 25 minutes.
Still, it does seem to be a lot better lately.

At least it is all pretty much about cars and Top Gear is more all round entertainment. Agree, I flipped to and fro from the show and its only about 15 mins of watchability. All the adverts Plus i don't want to watch Charlie Boringman having a session with VBH (not jealous ). I'm sure he's a great bloke but is just the 2nd luckiest man in showbiz after Andrew Ridgeley! Focus RS looks the bollox. Why can't Subaru make attractive hatches blah etc.......................

I watched this last night, its a pity that the feature combining VBH and the mighty Atom was (almost) ruined by that t*sser Charlie Borman. Thankfully the VBH managed to make it watchable.

I fear I may get lynched for being a junior member and making this statement on this forum; but that Focus RS is a stunning looking car, I hope the Subaru designers are taking notes for the next Impreza facelift...

Don't think you will get lynched, i think after that review and a couple of others it might have finally ended the "it's fwd so it's crap, can't handle the power, blah blah blah" debate

Think it sounded great too, all the right noises and a very aggressive looking car

I'll be honest and admit, prior to the 5th Gear review and Tom Fords article in The Times at the weekend, I was one of those supporting the "it's fwd so it's crap, can't handle the power, blah blah blah" argument.

I love the look of the car though (except the green colour), and the little snippet of audio in the review sounded great: though I'd like to hear it a bit more without the commentary over it. If only they'd done a proper Fiesta RS on the '05 to '08 shape car; that would have been awesome!
