Just finished watching; pretty good episode. My favourite is a toss up between the laferrari and 918. The P1 doesn't do it for me unfortunately. The last bit was a bit long but I always like it when James and Jeremy do reviews together I feel they balance each other nicely.

Loved the whole episode. I feel like a lot of people don't know the truth about Ferrari's practices, so it was good to have them exposed like that in front of a gigantic audience. Although Ferrari has always been like that. Even in the old days, Enzo had all the race officials in his pocket. Cheated and lied his way to a lot of wins. James Hunt's "illegal" win that was later deemed legal. Enzo's bribes to officials to cancel a race in Monza or Spa back in the 60s, shortening the schedule and the amount of points because he was afraid the Cobra Daytona Coupes would win the championship, which they would have if the race went ahead as planned. So no surprise they're still afraid to lose now.

I started watching that episode last night...glad to finally have some reviews again.

Pretty shocked to hear Richard, the resident Porsche-nerd (I'm one, too ;) ) pick the Vette. Neither he, nor Jeremy liked the looks of the Cayman, either...which I find nuts. I LOVE the styling.

Episode #6 was okay. Yes the Lexus is absolutely rubbish! Hammond's tree comment was the best highlight of the show. Hahahahahahahaha :D

In the middle of episode #7. Damn those Jagauars are damn hot!!! Both should be hopefully made into 1:18 scale models.

Didn't care for this episode much but I really enjoyed Hammond's review. He really went back to Top Gear's old recipe for car reviews that were punctuated with gorgeous driving sequences and didn't try hard to be funny.

Yes and that was an amazing road he was driving on as well!. Was somewhere in Spain. I am so jealous, it's so boring living in a flat country.

Best comment in the whole show (#7 in this series), Richard Hammond acting as 'spotter' for May in the VW: James, I spotted a seagull! Other things to notice - Clarkson wearing a cardigan. You know you're getting old (male) when you fancy wearing cardigans.....
