Otherwise I'd happily stick to my 8 thank you very much....but of course I'm biased

The TT pricing here was announced to start at $35k. I bought my 8 for $25k. The Alfa Romeo is not even available but would most likely be much more expensive.

I know it's a show and that's what they're supposed to do, I just thought it was comical.
P.S. I've only been able to watch the first 10 minutes so I don't know what goes on after that point.

Yeah, And he (JC) thinks Australian's can not design or make cars...but then he loves the Holden Monaro (Vauxhall) Pontiac GTO, and the Holden Commodore SS or Pontiac G8....
Take what this guy says with a PINCH OF SALT....
He is entertaining though....great show.

Who cares about Canada? Top gear doesn't care about it because we don't make anything really awesome except for the T-Rex (Thanks Quebec!).
The worst review I've ever seen from Fifth gear, was the rx-8. It was the biggest Pos and Tiff didn't provide any facts about the car. Jeremy clarkson didn't either, but he had a shitload of fun with the car. Honestly, I hate how Tiff raves about the 350z and it's "noise", because honestly, I hate teh sound.
And who doesn't love the holden monaro?

Top Gear Australia's Second Season finished last week, last night (Monday 7.30 PM) they returned to the UK Top Gear and shows that were not previously ever seen before in Australia....and guess what!!..
Last night was the show which has the "new" V red RX-8 feature tested by Clarkson..WOO HOO, after all these years we finally get to view the original show.
So in the first 2 seconds of the show we see Clarkson start with his intro, and straight on the new RX-8.
I like the end where he says the 350Z is 2,000 pounds more ( currency) with a harsh ride, where the RX-8 is so much better and a "very, Very Good Car!"..
AFTER ALL THESE YEARS IT IS STILL ONE OF THE BEST...

IIRC he said "theres something about these tires" so he realizes that its due to the OEM tires. so i wouldnt say he changed his mind about him thinking the 8 is the ultimate car of its type.
