Macan on the Grand Tour
Well the Macan did OK apart from the 4WD packing up early, the Stelvio is clearly quick but I couldn't face the certain depreciation or the potentially fragile build quality and the Velar looked like a hearse but was actually pretty good until the electronics started to pack up . Of the other 2 cars on the show the Tesla was astonishing but not £156K astonishing plus I hate that central screen and the Raptor was the best out of the lot, capable, ruggedly good looking and cheap as chips, shame we can't buy one over here.

Hamsters idea of off road mode, interesting, no wonder he had the result he did.
The way they had someone lap in an Beamer M then they themselves did a lap in each of their own choises was again interesting.
Even more interesting the Tesla X and the drag against an Audi R8 thingy, outcome as expected, or was it?
S2 mch better than S1, all they need do is drop the celeb thing completely, after the first two mine get wound on.

The Turbo PP on summer (I suppose) 21's was always going to struggle, Carmine looked a bit pink on my telly. Best of the 3 though.

I watched two episodes at 16x. That conversation street thing is worse than getting a bunch of YouTubers in a room talking about the colours of the wraps they're going to choose.Haha!
I found this 2nd series quite entertaining. Did not like the first one at all, that was very cringeworthy.
What was the verdict on the Macan? Let me guess - they declared their hatred of SUVs at the outset, Clarkson made a 'Coxster' reference, they alluded to it being gay and then tried to blow it up or have it tow something like a fridge round a track before making a war reference and saying that they couldn't let the Germans win etc...
Yep, that was pretty well it.alxgb wrote: ↑Sat Feb 10, 2018 1:50 amI watched two episodes at 16x. That conversation street thing is worse than getting a bunch of YouTubers in a room talking about the colours of the wraps they're going to choose.Haha!

Not good TV if the three stooges were dull boring and uncontroversal in their attitudes.

It's a sad indictment that there is better content on YouTube with nothing near the production budget that they get to squander.
A generally poor episode. Didn't do any favours generally to SUVs as anticipated. Overall series 2 has been better than series 1 though.
it will be interesting to see how Top Gear pans out when it returns soon.
