TOP GEAR - Is it getting Worse? Last nights episode was pointless

[RocketRossUK]

New series next sunday!

They're going to compare old hot hatches to the new equivalents, GTI?

I thought it was going to be MK7 GTI ve M135i - bit of unfair battle. The GTI is going to get creamed, Fifth gears review as bad enough....Imagine was they are going to say about it...

They did this on Autoexpress. Old performance cars versus the new ones.

What's wrong with this picture?

"Jeremy grabs the keys to a Volkswagen Golf GTI, Richard takes the wheel of a Vauxhall Nova SRi and James May opts for the Ford Fiesta XR2i,"

SRI? Was there a Nova SRI? I can only remember the 1.3 and 1.4 SR and the 1.6 GTE. There was an SXI later on, but that was a 1.2 with single point injection, so far from a hot hatch.

There certainly was as i owned one as my second car many moons ago.

[thai-wronghorse]

Not my one but identical including the wheels.

That looks really nice. What engine did that have? 1.4 with single point injection?
