I wonder what that is going to be like. I read about his test of the Spyker a while ago in the editorial of Autovisie and I know JC told the people from Spyker that he thought it was a great car. He also brought a replica of a painting of one of the Dutch masters to use in the item. Still, Spyker is not sure what JC is going to say about it on TV. They stated that they want to see it before they'll believe it. The thing is that the Spyker still needs to be developed further to make it into the car it should be and Spyker fears the car might get slagged regardless.

Lionel Richie... Never really heard his music, but almost the only star in a reasonably prized car I've heard of...

And the Spyker is a a beatiful looking car

Is it just me, or was the Spyker's body stolen from Maserati?

Yeah, you just know he's gonna say "Owwww" when he hits the stack of tyres at the follow-thru...

Mihai, there may be some similarities in the shape of the headlights, but believe me, if you see them both in the flesh, they're very different.

Good to see Top Gear back! I wonder what Jeremy will say about the Spyker too. It'll probably end up on the uncool board since it's too loud.
