I have come to hate watching Top Gear BBC. It reminds me that the Europeans get all the good stuff and we get the warmed over table scraps.

That Albanian girl was a touch embarrassed in the news part... That was hilarious. I agree. The new bently sucks rocks. Hammond and James had to push it to start on a drag race, and then get into their own cars, and they still beat it...
Won't be buying one of them anytime soon. However I did like the S63...

Damn Bentley always getting hung up on little rocks along with their piss poor acceleration.

Seriously these car companies need to learn that NOT giving Top Gear a car when promised is one very bad idea....

It is not like this is the first time TG has taken pot shots at a manufacture. How ever, how many Bentley buys are watching TG and using it to help determine what car to buy.
