Jeremy: Braking in this car is so brutal, it would be less painful to
actually hit the tree you were trying to miss.
|
| |
Jeremy: Getting into the old Z4 after a long day was like coming home
after a long day's work and flopping down onto a sofa made entirely out of Chuck Norris.
|
| |
James: Yes, it's the Mercedes B-class! Keen students of the alphabet
will probably have worked out already that this is one up from the A-class.
|
| |
Jeremy: This car can be vicious, but in an amusing way, like a shark
in a funny hat.
|
| |
Richard: There's only two knobs in it- -
well, three if you count the one who bought it.
|
| |
Jeremy: You also get a funny little noise from the waste gate when you
take your foot off the accelerator... It sounds like squirrels are being pushed into the engine.
That's what this is, it's a squirrel mincer!
|
| |
Jeremy: It can blow your mind... but also empty your stomach.
|
| |
James: The last Proton I drove was something called the Impia. It was
a very long journey and the car was so awful that - to be honest - I wanted to harm myself.
|
| |
Jeremy: If you go though the Pearly Gates, backwards, in a fireball,
that's a cool way to die!
Richard: I love that vision of just blasting through the gates,
backwards, in a flaming Swedish supercar! "Yes! I'm here! Where are the women?"
|
| |
Jeremy: Jesus had a Honda, John 12:49: For I did not speak of my own
accord.
|
| |
James: I've got furniture that handles better than this
thing!
|
| |
Jeremy: My biggest problem with it is that I can't see the point of
saying "I've got a supercar and the great thing is it looks like a Golf." That's like saying "I'm
married to a supermodel and the great thing is she looks like a traffic warden."
|
| |
James: Meet the new Boxster, same as the old Boxster.
|
| |
Jeremy: Hello, and welcome to Top Gear. Now we get quite a few
complaints that we don't feature enough affordable cars on the show, so we're kicking off tonight
with the cheapest Ferrari of them all.
|
| |
Richard: You can stick a BMW badge on a dead cat - and people
would still buy it.
|
| |
Jeremy: Let me give you an example of its terribleness. The rear
brakes were made of aluminium and they [the Russians] must have thought "Aha! You see, that's very
advanced! The west hasn't thought of this!" There's a very good reason for that though. Aluminium
has the same braking properties really as... cheese.
|
| |
Jeremy: They really do have an irony deficiency here. I can honestly
believe that in certain parts of America now, people have started to mate with vegetables.
|
| |
Richard: I can't remember if I took my malaria pill this
morning. If I were a girl, I'd be pregnant a lot!
|
| |
Richard: And the Hyundai Accent, which is wretched, whatever engine it
has, but we were particularly depressed with the three-cylinder diesel version. It really is less
fun than drowning!
|
| |
Jeremy: Koenigsegg are saying that the CCX is more comfortable. More
comfortable than what... BEING STABBED?
|
| |
Jeremy: And if you are clinically insane, by which I mean you wake up
in the morning and think you are an onion, here's your car.
