I do understand what your saying but driving standards are so low nowadays that giving people another excuse to make no effort is a bad thing in my opinion, there must be better innovations to concentrate on.

I do agree with you. But there's nothing we can do about the shocking driving standards of non car enthusiasts, so driving ades like these help us outa as well as them

A fleet of wrecked Kias.  Good to see they're keeping the budget down.  :laugh:

You honestly think that they paid for any of that? Topgear essentially showed an half hour Kia advert on prime time tv with the added bonus that they then go on to drive one around the track for 2 min in every episode until they release the next one.

TG have asked other marques to offer a reasonably priced car and so far it has been

Suzuki, Chevrolet (Daewoo), and Kia

The more popular & well established brands thought better of it.

I have to agree with you there. A big advert for range Rover then a boring feature ona crappy beige car. Hopefully next weeks will be better.
