Wow, they really railed on the SC430...

"dreadful" "miserable" "all horribly wrong" "flabby"

They compared the Hyundai to it, and went as far as to suggest the Hyundai made the Lexus look merely "big and fat"

Top Gear really hates non-British/German stuff, and it shows.

I like 5th Gear becuase Tiff Needell manages the show...that's pretty good too.

What I want to know is why they put the Murcielago against the Pagani. A S7 is probably the closest competition for the Murc. Does anyone know where I can actually d/l all these episodes (besides sleepyfish)?
