What is the deal with these season so far?
#4 wasn't all that great either. Budget cuts at the BBC the problem?

Budget cuts? They destroyed a brand new £12k car as part of this episode.
That poor little Twingo. I swear if Renault brought some of their lineup to the US, they would sell like crazy. I'd definitely buy a Twingo if it were available here.
how retarded are the bmw and audi trucks? the range rover was pretty sweet, tho. the dash alone will sell trucks.
That Range Rover beat the other 2 in the ugliest fvcking design category too. Can that ass hang out over the rear wheels any more? Can it be more square?

WTF is that thing?
BTW, even on the wet track... did you see which cars that X5M competed with on the lap times? Of course Clarkson wouldn't make a point of it. Engineering marvel. Yeah real uninteresting...

His point was they were all ridiculous cars. He recommended none of them in the form they were tested. It may be as fast around a track as a Z4, yes, but if you want it for that, just get a Z4.BTW, even on the wet track... did you see which cars that X5M competed with on the lap times?

SUVs that can actually go off road have rear ends like that so that they can enter and leave steep areas without catching part of their pink frilly dress on a tree. Fashion wagons like the other two can barely scale a large chocolate cake without getting stuck. Function, then form.

Not sure how you can think the Range Rover is ugly. May not picture well in that segment, but in real life they are really nice looking. Range Rover sport looks even better. Plus they do have a certain elegance about them both inside and out.
The thing is he has a point. The x5m is a rather pointless vehicle. Gets terrible gas mileage and not exactly going to be the most comfortable vehicle for trips. The whole point of an x5 is to carry stuff and have a comfortable vehicle. I doubt few are ever going to load up 5 people and go to the Nürburgring. If you wanted to do that you'd just get a regular m5, which would be faster anyway.
The X5M was exactly two seconds slower than the M5... and the M5 ran the track dry. That is ridiculous.

looks like every other range rover i've ever seen.

it's not the execution, it's the concept i don't care for. take a fake off-roader and turn it into a fake super car.
9.5 out of 10 for technical merit, minus several million for clarity of purpose.
