      ZOMG that aston was jaw droppingly sexy. Very nice indeed. Although when they showed it out of focus before James introduced it, I thought it was the fairly new Jag XK-RS as it has the same or at least similar paint job.

          After seeing a Grey Vantage and a Silver DB9 on my walk to work each morning, I can definitely say that outrageous colours like that blue are a worthy change.

          There are some morenings where i don't even realise it was the vantage until it's almost out of visible range purely due to teh fact it doesn't stand out.

          Why bother buying a 500k car if you don't want it to scream "LOOK AT ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" ??

            Astons aren't a loud look at me flashy car.

            But the engine note on the other hand.

              I still kind of like the shades for a clean look, long term, and resale, BUT certainly good to see some colour and I expected that'll be the way things are going (after 2003-2012 with all luxury cars in shades).

                  I want to see them try and drive the tunnels under the White House like in the Bucharest segment

                  I'm enjoying both series so far and TGA has come along way since their first episodes where they tried to cram too much into the 45 minutes. The good thing is they identified their preferred presenters and stuck with them, allowing them to develop a chemistry, unlike the aussie one where they kept chopping and changing. Since they stripped it back to just challenges in the current eps I wonder how long they will be able to keep it going for before they run out of ideas or people get tired of the same thing over and over.

                    Didn't mind the latest ep of TG USA.

                    I can't help but feel it could/should be called something different.

                    It's really just a car based entertainment program at this stage, I mean apart from the G63, they havn't even done a car review yet

                      They don't really stick to the TG format, and they're probably for it. They did more copying in the first season and it was harder to enjoy watching.

                        UK Ep 3 is out now.
                        Was an interesting episode, spotted signs to Mt Blanc and Chammonix which was a highlight for me.

                            He did better than I expected (and the car was better than I first expected), but I still wanted him to win

                              Average of 19l/100km means you would make it about 250km before having to fill up.
                              Plus most of our roads and traffic mean you wouldn't do over 80km/h anyway.



                              The annoying part about the ep for me was the 86 review.
                              Everyone goes on about how great it is becasue you can get the tail out and it's a "proper sports car" however if you drive it how hte reviewers are doing you will have it confiscated and crushed so i find it weird they are using those "benefits" as selling points.

                                Most people who drive like that already have an old Commodore for that purpose anyway... and probably cheaper
