This is the segment from their new movie, "Top Gear At the Movies". They pit the Boss against the newest Australian Vauxhall. It's not their full Car show review, that will come later this year in the regular season. Enjoy!!

Ok, so it is racing around an old airfield, but a Boss 302 LS losing to a friggin' Vauxhall VXR8? Maybe a better driver was needed.

If I remember correctly the mouth breathers over at Top Gear think the Vauxhall is a POS so by putting the Vauxhall out front is just their way of saying the Boss is a bigger POS.

they always have a way to make it seem less than it is...
for example when they did a test of a mustang against a real horse they were all "This is a 4.6 liter V8 with 315 horsepower..." and all that and it was a **** V6.....

yes, they always put there spin on everything. That's why it is for entertainment only. I am shocked that the Hamster didn't slobber over it though. He's into Mustangs and is an undercover American living across the pond. Can't wait for the real show to air!

Jeremy and capt. Slow hate domestic, Hammond is the only guy who likes anything made in the good ole U.S.A.
Either way they do things mainly for entertainment anyway, and they definitely put down mustangs. Its sad

its silly to drive a grip car like a drift car in the first place. oyu notice in alot of the shots the Vauxhall slides wide a few times with its big fat sedan'ness.

eh it was destined to be there from the start.
I love how every review of RWD cars (euro or otherwise) driven by one of the commentators is basically driven sideways throughout the review

The only part of the review that matters is the Stig's lap around Dunsfold; I'm anticipating a strong showing there.
As an American car on Top Gear, it is destined for japes and inaccurate portrayals. These are the guys that said an NSX was faster than an LS3 C6 in a drag race. That being said, I love TG and can't wait for the new season to air.

The review couldn't possibly be over, with the exception of the stig. He didn't comment on anything concerning ride, suspension, or handling. I'm guessing there's a second part to this review?? I know this is how he reviewed my last car, z4m. And in the end he flipped the script as to how much he loved it. Wishful thinking, I know.....
