This Sunday on BBC2 & BBC HD at 2000hrs
Synopsis is:
Season 16 Episode 1 of 6
New series. Jeremy Clarkson subjects the Skoda Yeti to a thorough examination, while Richard Hammond charts the evolution of the Porsche 911 by pitting the current Turbo cabriolet against its oldest relative - and the power of gravity. James May takes the Ariel Atom V8 for a spin on the test track, another celebrity gets behind the wheel of the Reasonably Priced Car, and the Cool Wall returns to start yet more arguments in the studio

Surprised the stig is still white. Thought a colour change was long overdue.
The yeti? No, but with sienna millar, Yes!
-
it took a fair while before that ferrari started pulling a lead on the yeti though, was very surprised at that.
That yeti is an ugly car though
-
I quite like that yeti :ashamed:
-
Yeah but you can land a Helicopter on it :laugh:
I want that Atom :driver:
-
I quite liked the yeti. :ashamed:
-
Me and the Wife were sat there thinking that we are not sure.
Inside looks nice just not sure on the outside. :ashamed:
-
You can't see the outside when you are driving :P
-
it did make me laugh with the Atom commentary. i remember thinking, christ, it looks like james may has learnt to drive :grin:
Did anyone notice the guy driving the porsche for the 1/4 mile rqace between the 911 and the beetle. new stig maybe??
-
anyone notice the sticker at the top of the windscreen of the red beetle on the track?? :laugh:

Spotted their web address platered across the front bumper of the Beetle as well....I've spoken to a couple of folk who've had the previous Yeti and they loved it.Not a looker from the outside,but when poking the fire do you pay attention to the mantlepiece?
-
Previous Yeti??
-
Previous Yeti??
Sorry.May have got mixed up with the Roomster.
In fact,definatly. :ashamed: :rolleye:

Alright episode, but there are parts where you just think 'why,'
It is so much more about entertainment now than reviewing cars, The porsche article started off really well, but then the pointless destruction of a (Mexican) Beetle just seemed daft, as it has done in previous series when they crash morris minors or the like.

I agree Al. I fast forwarded large chunks that were just stupid. Why have firemen crawling through a yeti? Pointless! :confused:
-
It's called entertainment. It would be a pretty boring show if they just drove round the track and then stood and spoke about the car.
I loved the Satnav Trace :signLOL:

Was it just me that got a bit confussed about the electric Jag that uses petrol or diesel to power the turbines?!?! :confused:
-
I courted my wife in an old VW Beetle..That film really pissed us both off.. Top Gear still rocks tho... :driver:
-

think its a hybrid, as he said the GTE can charge the batteries iirc.

the yeti gets some really good reviews, im sure evo took one on a trackday with just decent rubber and lapped as fast as a 200 or something.
-
Surely the Yeti is just a Tiguan?
And a Tiguan is something I really like!
-
I love the Yeti. It's a totally uncool car, which for me makes it very cool, if that makes sense.
You just know it's never going to appear on the shopping list of the yummy mummy brigade.
-
I quite like the Yeti as said it is a cool but uncool car.
I don't think it will feature on my shopping list in the future but never say never. :smiley:

The Passenger door lock will work on a Yeti :booty:
