For the love of Top Gear!

I’m just going to re-download my top gear episodes…

If I could get the new season in 720p, i’d be happy!

^^ My university dc++ file sharing happens to have the new episodes in HD (by which I mean the person who is uploading them is recording them from an HD network) but it’s still sweet because they have the new ones every week.

was it top gear or the other show that did this?

lanevo 400hp 400tq or watever towing a trailer house lol… that was memorable.

probably top gear… fifth gear is not as fun lol

5th gear is alot more technical though.

have they rebuilt their tool shed the lads burnt down?
coughhammond couch

for sure… but they just don’t seem to take as many risks as top gear, only say that because I think that fifth gear started when the old top gear was off the air.

Fifth Gear followed the format of old Top Gear, which is just a normal automotive review show with a few jokes.

for the latest episodes:
Finalgear.com

They got old episodes as well

As TopGear showed us…Lexus IS-F<BMW M3

Toyota needs to step up or get out! lol

The M3 also beats the RS4 and the C63 on the track, does that mean they need to step up or get out?

Did you watch the right episode? The M3 was like a second faster around the track and really all the test of the IS-F shows us is that Lexus has stepped it up, but there were still things clarkson said he did not like… also Toyota owns Lexus… Why would they try and beat their premium brand?

I’d rather buy an IS-F

the new episode (season 12 episode 6) was great. the part where they tried to figure out of communism had ever produced a good car was hilarious and the test drive at the beginning of the show did not disappoint 4.5 out of five for this one…

yeah, the comi car thing was AMAZING, i laughed sooo hard

Difference is, Audi and Mercedes have so much cred than Lexus/Toyota, especially in the present day with their impressive powerful cars with amazing sports pedigree…so my answer is…

NO.:cool: they’re worth staying, Lexus needs to stick with Luxury. Not a good comeback or introduction @ all into the Sports realm.

“fake twin exhausts…” lol

Although I agree that the fake exhaust tips are incredibly gay, this is Lexus’ first try at a true sports sedan that can roll with the big guys (BMW, Audi, Benz) and although they do not beat them, they build an incredible machine.

Saying that they need to stop trying all together is stupid. They will get better over the next few models.

By the way, you say Audi/Benz has impressive powerful cars and amazing sports pedigree…whatever the hell that means, so Lexus doesn’t have an impressive car? The IS-F is very impressive.

It’s okay for the start, but it’s not a “wow factor” as it’s entered into the sports car realm.
You have to have expected something better, Toyota is the backbone of the Lexus brand.
haha, I meant, that Audi and Mercedes have so many other more powerful cars and a diverse portfolio of sporty cars alongside luxury.

We’ll have to see, but personally…I think Toyota has lost their touch & they need to work themselves back to making truly impressive SPORTS cars rather than focusing JUST on making lots of bland cars, and for their luxury division more kick and more bite in handling and power, they have such tough competition to face from the German luxury rivals.

Toyota/Lexus has a history of making amazing sports car which are legends today…
Nissan has never lost their touch, But we’ll see what more comes out of Lexus/Toyota.

*I want to see Mazda, Toyota, and Honda…these 3 in particular face the GTR. Kinda bring it back to the good ole days lol.
