That Hellcat was beastly. Though I didn't see why Clarkson was talking all that smack about the Aston's interior, it looked fine to me.

Until you looked at the interior of James Rolls Royce. I think it was the color scheme, it was all black, with more black trim instead of wood or something to contrast against. Also if you google the DB9 or DBS interior, I think it looks better, there aren't as many odd angles on the dash, the chronograph instruments look nicer than the all LCD display that's now in vogue found on the DB11

i love seeing them all on screen again... but on top gear they were presenters, whereas on this show they're more like actors. top gear was so popular because of the natural chemistry that occurred between them, not because of they're academy award winning acting performances lol... so far this show is great but for pure entertainment so far it's still not top gear in it's golden era

3 was really good. Loved it, thought it was better then most Top Gear episodes.

I agree with Clarkson's criticism of the Aston's interior, I don't like it at all. Too plain looking and not as nice as previous Aston's.

This was one of their best interiors. It has all been down hill since this interior. Love the sloping wood and controls that look like a high end stereo.

DB9, I think around 2004-2008. I'll have to look it up when I have more time.

Christmas episode was drab until the very end, that last bit with James May was great. The history lesson was cool as well.
