Has anyone seen 3D motors on Motors TV? By God does that guy have THE most irritating way of speaking!

It's now got even worse now that he's got his family involved in "road trips" and his 10 year old son sound EXACTLY like his dad!

Normally I love Top Gear and you know what you are going to get with any so called "review" they attempt to carry out but because I was actually really interested in what they had to say about the L405 I was bitterly disappointed. There was nothing James May did in Nevada that I couldn't do in my 2010MY and apart from a few sound bites about weight etc did they didn't cover anything really useful about the improvements that have been introduced in the new model. And as for spending half the show on their crappy Fiat Multipla..........I guess I was just expecting too much

Still love the show for what it is and always will but I must remember to series link Fifth Gear

Possibly just my sense of humour, but i found the Fiat Multipla bits hilarious....agree that the L405 "review" was very weak on content though.

Would have loved to see it put through its paces properly on the road as well, given that is where 99.9% will spend most of their formative years... '08 Audi S6 Avant 5.2 V10 with Milltek non-resonated. Vrrrrrrmmmmmph
'59 Ford Kuga Diesel (boring but AWD and 40mpg...)
2007 (07) Subaru Forester XTen 2.5 Turbo. (Roundabouts are fun again!)
2007 (07) 4.4 V8 Vogue (gone)

I thought the TG episode was one of the best in a long time. It had lots of good laughs. New TG has never been about the car reviews and is all the better for it. There are plenty of other shows for the serious reviews.

i found the 'cat' being blown off the fiats roof and then being buried it in the box very funny..  ... - .- -.

I was disappointed they didn't mention the soft-close doors & I'm surprised James May, usually so meticulous, just repeated the official LR line about the reduced button count. (in fact, it's mainly due to the replacement of hard buttons to the side of the screen with soft touch sensitive buttons) Researching my first Range Rover purchase

I was hoping for something similar to the Discovery 3, but felt rather deflated to see James May just throwing it about in Nevada. L405 is certainly growing on me the more I see it though.

Fifth gear seem to have really stepped up their game since it went to Discovery.

Thanks wanderer I was beginning to wonder if I was the only one who hoped for a little more substance

Don't get me wrong, I love Top Gear and I did enjoy the Fiat Multipla section but did it need to be quite soooooo long

Shorter series with less content with longer gaps between series = lack of new ideas me thinks or maybe just lack of support from Auntie Beeb  22MY Defender 110 D250 HSE X Dynamic, Gondwana Stone.

I think we would all be disappointed about the content because we are all owners or wannabes and so are keen on the subject. To anyone else they were probably impressed with the review. I know I could have watched an hour long programme just on a ffrr
