I'm not entirely sure but I think the flying mini metro was done by students from my college - Brunel University, could be wrong though

Definately looking forward to the MC12, F430, Sagaris, M5 and Wiesmann

Where did you find the info btw?

nice line up, but somehow it all doesn't seem to match last years group of tested cars. All we can do is wait...

Not to knock the new M6, but I sat in, and poked around in one, whilst in Frankfurt, and I have to say that the interior reeked of plastic! The door lining is a faux leather, but still plastic, the paddle shifts felt like the plastic from a television remote control! I'd want real bloody leather for my Euro 122,000!

can someone inform me on the broadcast time and day of top gear?
As far as JC is concerned he has a way of making every car test review enjoyable and amusing but his remarks on some cars are just really annoying, e.g BMW 1 series.

Cool, the big ones are on that list.

But to be honest, I was expecting some more cars (good cars that is). Heh, I guess I was spoiled by the previous series...

Can´t wait to see what JC has to tell about the F430. He already discribed the 360 CS as "perfect" and the F430 is already said to be better in every way... Only two weeks to go

I am glad he is going to test the CTS-V. I was hoping he wouldn't ignore it, even though he will say it sucks.
