Was I asleep through the news segment, or did they skip 3 out of those 4 cars?In the news this week, they actually manage to find time to talk about cars; including the Mazda 6, Maserati Quattroporte Sport GTS, Subaru Impreza WRX Sti and Mitsubishi's I.

So thats either the second or fourth time a car has been beaten in a race through London. Still, at least it isn't quite as embarrassing as being beaten by a guy on foot.

Tonight, on Top Gear
I guess they needed some cheap filler after Africa.TG site wrote:There's a truly global flavour to this week's show, as the presenters test the finest cars to come out of German, Italy and Japan... and smash up a bunch of motorhomes for good measure.
Jeremy pits two of the great Teutonic tourers against head-to-head as he twin-tests the BMW M5 Touring and Mercedes E63 AMG Estate.
And as if burning rubber on the world's fastest luggage-loaders wasn't enough, he's also appropriated the new Honda Civic Type R for a blast on the TG test track. Off us, actually - suffice to say that TopGear.com's Type R lifer came back looking somewhat the worse for wear.
James gets a belated drive in one of Italy's finest exports, the beautiful Alfa Romeo 159, and discovers whether the Giugaro-penned saloon is faster than, erm, a very tall man. We can't tell you any more than that, but all shall become clear on Sunday.
And, speaking of very tall men, this week's Star in a Reasonably Priced Car is England rugby legend Lawrence Dallaglio. He's a big lad. The Lacetti hasn't been quite the same since.
And it falls to Richard to invent an entirely new form of motorsport: mobile home racing. Can big wobbly houses-on-wheels make it round the track? Will they disintegrate in the process?

Bloody pikeys!
Humour-wise I think this might have been the best episode of the season thusfar. Jeremy's "...and you'll look like a Victorian prostitute", the quips about the Citroen, the dashboard provided by the Romulans... They're really getting into it, methinks.

Interestingly, I saw a motorhome race last year on the isle of wight with similar results, so it is sort of already going on. Didn't have the rules in the program though, obviously.

Tonight, on Top Gear
Nice car, nice guest. I'm more worried about them doing a BL item.TG site wrote:See, next year sees the 40th anniversary of the formation of British Leyland, a milestone that Jeremy, James and Richard thought should be celebrated appropriately. Reasonably, the producers disagreed, saying that everything BL ever produced was a bunch of rusty, patchy rubbish.
To prove them wrong, our intrepid presenters headed out with £1,200 of their own cash to buy a car to prove that some good did come out of British Leyland.
Unfortunately, they returned with a Rover SD1, a Triumph Dolomite Sprint and an Austin Princess. And a lingering smell of rust and oil.
This week's Big Feature sees them thrash the Seventies not-quite-icons to well beyond an inch of their lives... and get very, very wet in the process.
But it's not just old bangers on the show this week. Jeremy arm-wrestled James Bond himself to get the keys to the new Aston Martin DBS, a car that might just be better than the Vanquish and the DB9. Together. Find out how the gorgeous, carbon fibre-clad supercar takes to our test track in the hands of Double-O-Stig.
And this week's star in a Reasonably Priced Car is comedy legend Jennifer Saunders, who proved absolutely fabulous behind the wheel of our Chevy Lacetti.
