Default Forgotten Top Gear Programme?

As I recall, Top Gear has not tested some cars that were promised to be featured on last season. What happened? refer to the 2004 Spring season programme #1's preview

??? Ferrari Scaglietti
??? Land Rover Discovery
??? BMW 1-Series

Cosnidering the images of Scaglietti, 1.Series and Disco seemed shoot at the official press days or seemed official material, they were maybe placed to spice up the intro video or they are scheduled for the Autumn.

I was thinking the exact same thing! I really wanted to hear what they had to say about the 612, but I guess we will have to wait for the next series...

I already saw a couple in Lausanne, filled with stickers like if it was a promotional tour or something... I think it will go on sale in the next weeks.
