Jeremy Clarkson drives the Audi RS4

Can't remember if this was posted before or not.

"Audi’s appeal, I think, is twofold. First, the cars are beautifully made. And second they are not BMWs." :D

"The RS 4 is different, however, partly because it was tested on Britain’s roads and partly because right now there is no up-to-date M3 version of the current BMW 3-series. If you want a small fast saloon then it’s the Audi or nothing. So what’s it like? Well, it certainly looks the part with puffed-up shoulders and fat tyres hinting at some serious firepower. And it delivers, too, thanks to a 4.2 litre V8 engine that develops 414bhp. That’s 70 more than the old M3. "

"Other than this minor irritation I’m completely sold on the RS 4. It goes like a scalded cock, corners beautifully, sounds like God with a cold, looks like Achilles, and best of all, if you buy one, you won’t have to buy something else tomorrow. "

"Rating 4/5
Verdict: A timeless classic"

The show is supposedly coming back in December. This is a reply one gets upon inquiring:

The "Top Gear" show was not "taken off the air" but rather ran its pattern.
It is being revamped for a U.S. audience and will return later this year.
Look for it in December.

Top Gear is returning back to BBC on Nov 13th as mentioned. Six episodes only, think Clarkson is still recovering after throwing out his back while going sideways in the Monaro!

Anxiously waiting to see if they test the RS4....
