The second part is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdBoEZ7JfqQ

Even the Euro version of the Ford Fiesta is better than the shit Ford puts out in the US.

Why isn't Ford selling this and the new Mondeo in US?

Second (awesome) part here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StSZ383UCX4

Is it green? yes. very.

wow... it sure died fast. fixed for now.

Awesome. Epic win!

That 2nd video is even better than the first video. "Would you rather shoot from in here?"

Somehow the host actually made me want to buy a Ford Fiesta now...never thought I would ever say those words (I drive a Charger).

Because they're idiots.

Did anyone see the episode in which the boys drove from Basel, Switzerland to Blackpool, England to turn on the Christmas lights? They all got nearly 1000 miles out of a single tank of gas.

Umm.. sorry, but I can't take ANY of that seriously. Lame mall chase. I wonder WTF that is suppose to prove other than to keep the attention of those with low IQ.

For some inexplicable reason, I seem to really like that second video.

^Yeah MarineGunrock - that really is a captivating Fiesta, isn't it?

It's called a commercial. All commercials are like that.

Well it worked on you

Sorry probie but this clip is from an entertainment show. Most people find it so and don't worry about any concerns over substance or accuracy.

It's actually one of the very few programmes worth watching on the BBC

This and QI.

If anyone cares, and I'm sure no one does, at 2:07 they start playing the song:
Amon Tobin - Ever Falling

Amon Tobin is awesome.

Update: at 3:26 its:
Amon Tobin - Vanilla's The Killer

Someone there likes Amon Tobin

When top gear has nothing bad to say about a 120 hp family vehicle, the show has officially turned into one big commercial.

I think I used to know this, but what's the name of the classical piece at the end?

And for those that might want to know, the music for the mall chase is-

Prodigy's - Hotride

Simply awesome. I love the cutaways when he points out that the car is really sh

That was sufficiently awesome.

"Oh, look at that! The smoke grenades fit right in the cup holders!"

i read that as sarcasm.

At the end of the shopping mall segment, it's Klazz Brothers & Cuba Percussi, 'Air'. The beach assault on the other hand was supplemented by Tchaikovsky's '1812 Overture'.

I figured they were taking the piss with the lot of it.

the whole show takes the piss. you just have to guess whether they are cynics or puppets.

Classic! Some old fart complaining that they don't do real tests of cars anymore.

For anyone not informed, the original Top Gear (1977–2001) was a show where they tested normal cars in normal everyday situations. The new Top Gear tests supercars and sends smaller cars up into the blue in the biggest private rocket launch ever.

Not from me! Look at Top Gear, it's contrived and heavily scripted and certainly disingenous with many of the filmed segments. I don't mind as it's fun to watch but apart from the opinions expressed the show is not to be trusted

Handbrake!!!

Erm, isn't that the whole point of the show?!

And yes, it's the only thing worth watching, along with Harry Hill's TV Burp.

(second part keeps being killed by the BBC... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syD-h-vfvlQ skip to around 3:20)

Woot. my first No.1 sift!
