Discretly in a post the other day I said Top Gear was 'not quite as good as it used to be in Jeremy's days'...

Tonight's little fiasco - top car of the year.... how much did they pay for that????

What a joke....

Cool

Relax, I reckon its a wind up

Well I think its a wind up

Oh Dear, oh dear - what have they done no wind up . Could have been worse it could have been a ........ okay it couldn't

I am sure Fiat will sell a lot of them, not to me though .

And another thing how could they design something like that. The Fiat coupe is a fantastic looking car the F355 (okay stretching a little owned by Fiat) still is my personal dream car . Even the Punto has that Italian look about it.

- Oh and its a BMW

I don't care how good the Fiat is, it will still be worth about £150 when you come to trade it!

Buy a Fiat, burn your fingers.

Forgive them, they know not what they have done!
What was it the late Mr Clarkson said? A cross between a Barchetta and a Bus?

Why does money never come into it?

I am sure the BMW M Roadster is a top drivers car but at what price - £45k ish.

At less than half the price the Scoob has to be, for most people, the 'better' drivers car.

Old Tiff seems a bit fond of Beemers. Didn't he used to drive BMW Motorsport M1's in the early 80's?

Makes me suspicious.

That's the last time I watch Top Gear and expect any sensible feedback.

What a load of pants. Some of the comments made me cringe.....I mean....come on....all those lovely cars there and they chose the Fiat...hehehe...must have had back handers from somewhere I guess....

Gethin.
