Nothing. The segment was about drifting, not about the Z. They barely managed to mention the name of the car. No commentary about it, no lap around the test track for comparison.

I think the dog summed up my feelings about the show perfectly.

I haven't fired it up yet but it sounds like the show hasn't gotten any better since the first episode. If they continue to piss off the owners of each car they feature they'll end up with a nice audience of 3, their moms.

Not sure there moms would watch.

I just downloaded the episode, I wish they'd put the 370 on a track and time it. I must say however that the US version of Top Gear is a lot better than the Australian version, so far.

I thought the down hill evo drive would be fun.

the evo was somewhat interesting especially with the track time on a stock evo.

I was so excited to see the stigs track time for the z compared to the evo. They clearly said they would test every new car they got on the track, yet they put no time up for the z. That really pissed me off.

it was quite boring and stupid, indeed.

ThoriumHotdog · 11-29-2010, 01:36 AM

How many Ford or Chevy commercials did they have during commercial breaks?

Boost_lee · 11-29-2010, 02:06 AM

blah, at least there was a blue one lol

It was funny when he said Rednecks and burnouts go together like Whiskey and hunting, but the hour it cost me to get there wasn't worth the chuckle it brought

The producers need to think "what would a Z owner (or whatever car is being driven) and the general male viewer want to see?". It's not a blind guy trying to drift. It's a f'ing hot lap in the Z so there is a time on the board.

And it's Vaaaaantaaaaage. Not VANtage. I'm ashamed of being American sometimes.

Pronunciation changes from place to place. All of the Vantage owners I have met call it the "VANtage."

Take Toyota for example. It's pronounced differently in Japan than it is in the rest of the world. It's not that big of a deal.

It's stupid to feel ashamed over something so petty.
