Top Gear - Post your opinions

[Wraith]

That F6 had some legs when it finally got going! Stupidly slow off the start though

Not really D145, it can run 5's to 100km/h, it's just that up against the HSV 6.2ltr V8 it made it look that way

The 6.2ltr donk in the current HSV's cranks out 400nm at just 1000rpm or right off the mark, so it just leaps forward, and it has 320kw to put the rest of the 160nm (total 560nm) to work...

The turbo six pack in the Ford needs to get over 3,000rpm before it starts really kicking, so that take off comparison was no surprises, to me anyway.

Great duel and comparo, hopefully we see alot more of the same

i agree. MUCH better this week.

I liked it more this week but mannn these guys don't know how to review a car for shit...They should have gotten a car enthusiast, who has watched every single Fifth Gear and Top Gear episode AND knows how to handle a car to run that show.

Also, the cinematographer of this Top Gear is pathetic...where are the exciting shots?? SOUND?? where's the sound engineering(while they're in the car you can't hear a word they're saying!)??? It's like a bunch of amateurs are working behind the scenes.

BUT, it has a good overall program...I like that old dude, he seems to be the most relaxed out of those three

The problem I see here is they are not providing any detail on the cars they are reviewing. They are missing the point, which is surprising

For example, the smart hearse they should have worked the product details into the story, excuses to talk about fuel economy, handling, acceleration, engines, features etc.

With the Haul pack episode why they didn't crush something under the wheels of one is beyond me, the proton use (too expansive), a wreck (mine wouldn't allow it?)...at least show us the pre-crushed car on display at the mine

They should have compared the haul pack to one of the utes there...just missing the point!!

There is also so much dust on their runway you can't see the cars

And like you can do a better Job then them put together???
They are out there having a go. Your a keyboard warrior when it comes down to it. Footage ive seen is close to what Top Gear UK have been producing.

yeah i thought the cinematography was fairly good on this weeks show. high contrast and rapid angle changes... i almost forgot it was the aussie version a few times.

i think, taking into account the views they choose to show etc, that its the same camera crew from uk.
i just watched last nights ep, i think it was great, esp the ute challenge, very funny.
ford/holden debate, i think they shy'ed away from making a real conclusion, if they say ford then holden watchers may stop watching, if they say holden then ford watchers may stop watching.
they made a good point though, the ford is only at its best when over the speed limit.
