    It's a good thing karrmann can't get top gear!!!

    It's a good thing karrmann can't get top gear because clarkson seriously laid into the toyota prius. he had nothing good to say about it.

    then it came third in the 'comedy handling' award of the year. (it was beaten to it by a smart fortwo, which put in a truly awful effort and going round a corner, i.e. it didn't)

    I was thinking precisely the same thing. Hes talking about the TV show CdocZ .. they kinda proved that the Prius actually isnt that economic or environmentally friendly. It only achieved 45mpg where a VW Polo D achieved 75mpg .. this also means that theres more fumes going up into the atmosphere than the VW .. just because its partly electric, doesnt mean its clean .. still has a combustion reaction in the equation.

    For fellow North American UCP'ers:

    if you have satellite or cable, look for BBC World. Half the time it's news, but on Sunday mornings, the latest edition of Top Gear is on

    I live in Montreal Canada, and we got those three magazines also. but they are ridiculously more expensive than evrything else. for example, here a EVO mag goes for arou 10 or 11$ CAN, thats like 8 euros!
