You oughta watch the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car more, Mekingtons. It's probably rarer that I know who the people are than you, unless they're Hollywood movie stars, but the interviews are 90% of the time good for a laugh.

Ferrari hasn't had a good lucking car ever since the Enzo for the most part. The 575 and 550 were the last good GTs. The 599 looks horrible. The 430 looks horrible. The new 480 looks horrible. The Enzo looks horrible. The California looks like a slightly modified Alfa 8C. That car looked good. This new bastardized version that is the California does not. None of the new Ferraris LOOK like Ferraris. Look at the F40 and the F50. Then look at the Enzo. WTF happened? They let a Chinese design it, that's what.

Ferrari has lost all of their style. They make amazing cars underneath the sheet metal, but that's where the beauty ends. The moment you look at the car with the sheet metal on it, it just goes downhill from there.

I've always hated Aston Martins. The Gallardo is kinda meh, out of the three cars I'd take the California, even if it does have a stupid un-Italian yank name. Infact no, I wouldn't get it because of that.

The new McLaren epitomises what's wrong with alot of sports car designs of today. Whereas the Lambo Reventon leads the way

You two sicken me! The 430 has been the only good-looking Ferrari in recent years (458 isn't exactly a looker either), and Aston Martin...well, Mekingtons is clearly mad, so I don't believe this requires any explanation.

All wrong.

360, 430, 612, how can you say they're ugly? The California is a cracker as well!

The F40, you're trying to say that's better looking than a 360 or a 430? You're mad.

@Mek, Why the Aston hate?

I have to say, I tend to agree on the Ferraris. I wouldnt say the new ones are fugly or whatever, but the F40 really is better than the 599, etc. I d say only the 430 equals it - not a fan of the Enzo.

GTFO. Seriously...WHAT?

Well, thats a first for me. Ive never come across anybody who hates Astons The DB5 is a machine of pure beauty, as is the DBS. Oh, an the DB7, and 9. In fact, I cant think of any Aston thats fugly. Even the Virage is appealing.
Having been in a DBS Volante, I can tell you, it really is perfection.

Best part is that I live 5mins from an Aston dealership, and drive past them everyday *drool* (the Bentley and BMW showrooms adjacent get ignored )

Still, each to their own.

I dunno, I've never seen them as appealing in any particular way. I've also never understood how people can say they're so nice in terms of looks. It's alright but, nothing to write home about. IMO.

I've never cared for them, the hype mainly comes from the fact that it's one of the few British car companies probably left.

Also probably cos Top Gear always wank over Aston Martins and it got tiresome afterwards

I mostly agree, but you've seen the DB7 Zagato, right? Technically it's not a full Aston, but it's one hell of a minger, imo. It looks to me what a crappy ripoff of Vanquish would be (I know it was built earlier than the Vanquish, but still).


To me, there is something very pleasing about these shapes and all the intricate details that make this the best looking car in the world, in my opinion, of course. I didn't really like Top Gear when I first started watching it, but when the DB9 got a special section for coolness and when Jeremy called The Who the greatest rock band in the world, those two events sealed the deal. I can understand why you don't like them, though. I had a similar experience when I first started getting into cars that people were jizzing in their pants all about Porsches and Ferraris, so I was struck by the DB9 and might as well have fallen in love.

Alright that Silver one looks good, but the one on the left... really, just no

Heretic. Astons are extremely pretty cars, but the true beauty is when you see them moving properly. If you get the occasion, try and follow one down a long road with a few roundabouts on it. Poetry in motion.

As for lamborghinis, the current models look a lot better with the roof still attatched, but the true beauty is when the driver floors it. V12 or V10 racket.

I was counting on Hammond to bring a 911


Great episode, loved the driving in the tunnels under the castle

I have a severe disdain for convertibles, I've always seen them as for people who dont really care about performance, they just want people to see them driving the car.  Plus the Aston and the Lambo looked terrible with the canvas roofs up on them, and the Aston looked dodgy without the roof too, which is hard to say because I adore Astons normally.

Meh, depends... mostly on if the car was designed to be a convertible or made one by force. Open air in nice weather is NICE though, you really can't deny it if you have ever ridden in one in a sunny day.

And really, if its a track car the drop in performance on all those high dollar cars is not something you would notice or miss... I am betting they still have buttloads more then what ever you drive.

If you don't object to calling roaders convertibles, your comment is down right stupid.

They reviewed the gallardo and the aston martin previously, and found them to NOT be wobbly due to the lack of the roof.
Don't remember anything about the ferrari, though.

But in the process of them not being wobbly, the cars are a lot heavier and lose some of their performance.  Its just a personal preference, i dont like hard top cars that are designed to be fast and sporty having the roof cut off because it seems to mean that whoever is driving them prefers looks over performance, and if you are that way, why not get something that was designed not to have a roof from the design stage?

@ VicktorVauhn, the roofs go up and down, therefore they're convertible in my books.
