Top Gear Australia

[NoFX_Hardcore]

Top Gear Aus won't last more than 1 or 2 seasons. Unless they get different presenters. Those 3 couldn't be trying harder to be like the UK presenters. It's embarrassing.

And that episode the other week with the hearse wasn't funny.

Hmmmm a practial use for astra's, now that entertaining.

$150k for a 7L commodore???

man i was happy to see it beat by the GTR

[jase-r34]

So was it just me or were they constantly trying to compare that zo6 powered boganvehicle with a BMW M5.....then after the lap were going off cause it beat the ..... M3? WTF. It costs the same as the GTR and got trounced by it.

The show is improving tho

slowly!

I felt the story on the 7 Litre HSV very to be accurate and informative.

What I concluded from it was -

- to make a Commodore any good, you need to spend 150K, squeeze a 7litre engine out of corvette into it and change every mechanical component on it.

- that out of the tens of thousands of Commodores sold this year ony 400 will be any good.

- that the antanae vibrating on the car meant that no one at Holden ever thought a commdore could do 160+kph (or even bothered trying)

- finally just like every episode of TG Aus, the presenters showed no respect for the car they were driving/testing and flogged it like the stole it. Which means no one will want to buy that particualr car, which means one less on the road
