Yeah, it was awesome. I wasn't as interested in the Maloo, but both looked great. Pity we can't get more of that stuff over here.

Did anyone catch the end of the episode? Now that was sad. I'm not sure I believe the rumors about it being a hint of Top Gear ending, but either way it really makes you pissed off at the busybodies pushing us to live in a humorless, sanitary, safety obsessed world.

It was definately a good clip to end the season, I dont think its the end of the show as a whole, mid episode he hints that Schumacher is available until November when he has to come back and test more cars (ie season 14)

And they have a ZR1 vs V10 R8 comparo thats already filmed that was supposed to be this season but it wasn't...

That was neat but I'm not a fan of Supercharger whine. Did enjoy the Maloo though since that is basically the Camaro in different clothing, nice roar on it

Great episode. It was a surprise to have Jay leno pop up for an interview in the end. How Jeremy feels about the V12, I feel about the V8's here in America.. That is one of the many reasons I bought a Camaro SS which was within my budget. Even though all V8's and V12's are being replaced by more fuel efficient engines because of CAFE standards and environmentalists.. As long as I can buy Gasoline, I will be driving a V8 from now on.. The Chevy Volt and its 100MPG rating as well as first 40 miles using no gas is a great idea, however I should be able to have a choice if I want a V8 engine sports car without Gas Guzzler taxes and higher than todays current pricing because car companies will be forced to make less of them.. It is sad to see 5 year old perfectly good cars being bought using my taxpayer money and then rendered useless. To me its another bailout. I had a 1998 Ford Mustang which was still running perfectly in 2009. So the Government buys it and destroys it. If I sold it, the car would be used by someone else or re-sold if it was a trade in. Couple this program with a Government run car company that can order GM employees to stop making V8's at any time and that every car must get 30MPG combined even though there is a free market that still desires V8 muscle cars... It does make me sad to see where my country is heading..
