That is one sexy 4 door. I think it will be a huge hit in the U.S.

Damn, they were beating on the hybrid of the year at the end. LOL

Fixed. It seems the only thing about the car he didn't like were the looks. Also it's unfortunate they ran it on a wet track. That probably added 4-5 seconds onto the time.

Limeys don't like anything non-euro, do they?

For 35 large it seems to be a bargain compare to those 6 cylinder power euro sedans. That LS2 was screaming. O_O. I can't wait to hear how the LS3 will sound plus it runs on regular unleaded compare to premium on the LS2. I want a G8 now!

A bit late, but if you have bright house it is on BBC America's On Demand service, don't know if it would be on any other service such as Verizon or Direct TV. Hope it helps.

If you have Direct TV, it is on Channel 264. I'm set to record all Top Gear shows now. Along with all my other car shows.....

Funny how Clarkson seemed to like the looks in the first preview and then in the review complained about the looks.

I was hoping that Clarkson will enjoy this car like what he did in the Monaro. To quote that was his favorite muscle car. I am not surprise they tend to beat on cars outside their country but come on. Other cars with all those electronics gimzos kills the fun of a car. I look at this car and I say to myself. This is me, I don't need variable intake, exhaust, butter fly intakes, V10's. All I need is a V8 and 6 speed stick.

i'm surprised the Pom's didn't get the bodykit from the Senator, it would suit the UK so much better, and even looks more like the competition

He kept comparing it to the M5. That's like comparing apples and solid gold oranges.

Uh, I think that's the point. One would think it isn't but when you get down to it it IS comparable. Same goes for the GTO / Bimmer or Mercedes (can't remember which it was , I think it was the benz) comparo when it came out in the magazines.

final decision normally when buying a car is cash, and thats how they were comparing them
