Just now on Top Gear...

I think last night's TG was not one of their better editions and Clarkson and Hammond's car chase scene was a total waste of my broadband allowance as I don't have a TV and view it on-line.

Now, that's a real off-road car

The whole programme has gone down hill.

I still watch it but i no longer look forward to or plan my sunday nights around watching it.

The British Army and the Royal Marines still buy huge numbers of Defender Cabrio's for their ruffty tufty soldiers to drive round in all weathers. Three years ago LR released the Defender SVX 60th anniversary with a large number of open top versions (or so it appears because you never see the SW/Hard Top version) so there has been a cabrio Defender model in the last 3 years and even my hard top Def90 isn't too difficult to convert from a tin top to an open top although you would struggle to store the top in the boot!

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed that too.
Looked like he'd just got out of bed.
I missed the first half and only saw the "Sweeny" second half which was complete tripe.
It is going down hill, they should stop trying to make a comedy prog.
The recent job with the italian supecars was very good and funny at the same time.
Should stick to that imho.

Auto Express ran this story last July (see link, with story and artist's impression).

Evoque Cabrio

Was clarkson not mistaking the evoque for a ssanyong?

I don't know if I would buy a car that was an eXciting User Interface.................... when will the Koreans and Japanese learn to use native speakers of the language they are translating into when thinking up new names for niche cars
