I really enjoyed tonight's episode. Really looking forward to the next series.

The RRS was beautiful, especially in Firenze.  Arrived: MY16 A/B SDV6 in Aruba, Ivory interior, piano black trim, black panoramic roof, spare wheel, blind spot monitoring, mudlaps and more...

Gone but not forgotten:
2014 RRS2 SDV6 HSE in Loire Blue
2011 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE in Santorini Black

Noticed that the car Hammond was driving was S/C Autobiography with all the options, no mention that this would cost £90K.
Still looked impressive.
Loved the colour. MY13.5 Autobiography, Santorini Black, Privacy Glass. Gone
Driving a milk float for now.

2006 RRS TDV6 HSE, 2017 AMG C43

Not Got:
Sense, money

Spent too much time on the bus feature the more you sweat in practice
the less you bleed in battle

Interesting to see Top Gear spouting the same old "footballer's car" tosh. Also, that the new Sport now has Terrain Response like the FFRR and anti roll bars that disengage to give better articulation. Stangely, my "old" RRS has both of those too. And it's jolly good off road too, thanks.

TG seem to have forgotten the off roading they did when the Sport first came out. Clarkson liked it back then... 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

I quite agree!

How much are TG being paid to slag off the old RRS - which as you say they said was fantastic - and why imply that our RRS do not have the same kit on as the new one?

It would also be interesting to find out if our heavy chassis create a lower COG making our cars less likely to turn over and better off road? Maybe one of you techies on here could confirm that  What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger!

Just been watching a 2010 TG on Dave where they test 3 upmarket 4x4's including the FFRR with the 5ltr s/c engine where JC states that this engine should not be allowed in he UK and why buy anything but the diesel versions? TG have become such hypercritical kers  What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger!

Mentioned the auto-terrain response, only on the HSE Dynamic and autobiography?!

Would have been interested to know if they were road tyres on the off-road piece. Looked like it which makes that pretty impressive? 07 TDV6 HSE in Stornoway Grey, 20" alloys |08 XF SV8 on order.

And the bus piece, British designed and built, to hopefully become an iconic London image.. Think of the huge global market Top Gear goes out to, surely makes sense? 07 TDV6 HSE in Stornoway Grey, 20" alloys |08 XF SV8 on order.
