Maybe now that our car has been reviewed and praised by Top Gear people will start to respect it for what it represents...nah probably not.

JC said it was one of the most fun cars he drove in years. That pretty sums it up for me.

I'm hoping it'll do quicker than a 1:30. I doubt it. 1:30 might be the highest it'll get.

I agree with the person in the comments section in the link:
"The GT86 should be the next reasonably priced car." That would raise the bar a bit eh? I think it would be a worthy investment for ToyaBaru to get their car on this show as the RPC. |

Does anybody have a link to his review off of the DVD? YouTube took it down.

Anyone who watches Top Gear is already aware of this car by now. I doubt that sales will change as a result of an appearance on the show. They are already selling every one they can make. Availability is the limiting factor, not exposure.

Yeah but Top Gear has a way of getting people really excited about cars. If they see a raving review by Jeremy Clarkson, they're going to much more seriously consider buying one. Even women watch that show where they may not normally follow car news.

Nice -- congrats!
I'm still surprised that Jeremy -- as opposed to, say, Hammond -- loves it so much. That totally seems like a car for the Hamster. He tends to like the tossable cars, Jeremy the uber-powerful ones, and James the lux. Go figure. Definitely looking forward to seeing it on (the next season of?) Top Gear. |
