dayum, that sucked. They only showed 1/2 of the piece and didn't show the RX-8 on the track with the Stig where it turned the same time as the M3 and 350Z...

sorry to get everybody excited for nothing...

The Discovery episodes are supposed to be cut up and re-arranged segments from the British shows so who knows when they will appear. I've been waiting to see that segment. I wanted to know what the hosts thought of the car since they are always driving MUCH more expensive cars. I was surprised he liked it as much as he did based on other shows. I would have guessed he'd like the handling but would have really trounced it for low-end power.

Had seen the full version on mpeg but it's still nice to see it on national TV.

I love: "Of all of the cars i've driven this year THIS IS THE BEST... FABULOUS CAR"

On a program dedicated to Lamborgini to say the least :-)
