Voted for the TTS .................... just kidding

You can vote up to Nov 11th so plenty of time to get your voice heard!

Porsche 911 got my vote

is the scirocco on next week?

short lists for some categories are a bit random, gone for the tactical vote of going for the old ball in other categories to give the scirocco a chance, the seat altea freetrack deserves a chance

it looks like they had the wrong description for the show that was on, next weeks has this weeks description on also. i think it will be on next week

Looks like the sports car reviews will be on this sunday as the freeview programme description is of last weeks luxury car reviews so they must have got the week descriptions mixed up. Hopefully the scirocco will be on!!

Bump !

Can't wait.... best car in the shortlisted 5 for bang for buck imo... obviously slightly biased

Yep definitely on tonight.
4x4's are on first so it'll probably be in the second half of the show.

Repeated wednesday if anyone missed it.

'Rocco looked superb against the other short listers.... the track review was very favourable given the price (was never gonna come top against the more powerful & expensive TTS, Evo or 911) however it came top on the wheel change test... whoo hoo (I think !) what a daft test...

Wonder when/if Top Gear plan to feature it

Had to turn it off, have never watched the program before and doubt I ever will again, the guy that tested the cars round that wet sand ciruit???? Didnt have a clue what he was talking about!

It wasnt funny, it certainly wasnt factual and it made 0 sense

given the dire dave effort tonight and 5th gear tried it on sand maybe i'll stick to tarmac and buy a landrover if i want to go off road, here is hoping tg review it on a track

...for sure...jeremy loves the car more from his beloved gti!

just watched the review on dave and what a pile of sh*t. They spent more time on the 4 x 4 school run wannabe wag mobiles then they give the sports car to some injury prone past it sportsman who drives it round a muddy track then they give it to some anoraks to see who can change a wheel the fastest what the f**k has that got to do with a car of the year review. The worst I have ever seen then I didn't expect much when the programme is presented by that clown johnny Vaughan all we needed would have been his side kick denise van outen. Well at least she is better to look at

Fair position given the competition.

Would have clearly been a much better programme if the rocco had been voted higher

I didn't quite get the point of the 'tests'. Four wheel drive car beats fwd round a wet muddy track shocker. Hardly a surprise.
Would have been much better to do a proper 5 minute road test on each car. The tyre changing thing was pointless too.

I really hope it's on this season of Top Gear though.

Not really I couldnt care a less if it had come last, but it would have been better to test the cars properly, the comments about the Evo were comical, and the monley thinks a standard 911 carrera is a performance match to and EVO X 360!!!? It would destroy the porsche hands down any day of the week any climate. especially on a wet sandy track lol which of course we all bought our cars to drive on

This is car of the year awards pah complete tosh, I'd even take Vroom Vroom more seriously and thats saying something lol

Well, the EvoX won the ports car category. 3 of the 4 guys in the studio bigged up the rocco though.
