I believe the XR6 is doing a hotlap of Oran park in next week's Drive program on channel 10 Saturdays...
Its a crap, and I mean really crap show... following a crap formula and you get the feeling you are watching a home accessories show and not a car show. The segments in the show are only short, so don't get set for a 30min expose on the XR6, it'll be lucky to get 5min. Heads up... Also, you can win a Renault Legane by predicting the XR6's laptime. Apparently you can apply for the competition at www.drive.com.au |

It is a Direct rip off of top gear. The way that that Micheal Stahl (?) bloke and the girl stand around the car with a really fakely interested looking audience surrounding it in a dark room is exactly what happens on top gear with our frend Tif Needel.

http://fifthgear.five.tv/jsp/5gmain.jsp?lnk=400 Another top show from Birmingham... Oh yes, the first show on SBS tests the 300C against the Munro and Jaguar S type, so its not current. Great to see it finally on Free To Air. |

COULDN"T believe how pov that show was. The dude was halfway through reviewing that Chrysler and the justfaded him out to a commecial break. That's a pretty harsh endightment on him.
The Uk shows were way way better. I love how they have the guy from the UK quoting everything in miles p/h and stering currency for an Australian show "The Toureg is about 60 grand" not here it ain't buddeh. |

Topgear is everything i want a car show to be! 'Drive' to 'Topgear' is like 'Braniac' to 'Mythbusters'....hrmm a bit of irony since Richard Hammond is the host of Braniac
