When you turn a "key" in a ZR-1 Corvette in 1995 its not that exciting. Then the germans do it 10 years later with a button and now we're getting somewhere. Nice review --- as always with him.

Is it true that can't turn your indicator off? Seems like a fairly annoying design flaw.

You see him turning the key to turn it on. In mine, you just press the starter - I don't think the key even turns.

edit: it's amazing how many simple factual issues he gets wrong.

top gear is always entertaining. the camerawork is awesome. i love when he pushes the p500 button and how they follow the seams of the seats and you can hear it downshift. the e60 m5 engine (s85, or is it s82) sounds incredible! anybody know wut opera aria / song that is in the background after he pushes the p500 button? i believed it was used in the, The Island, though i am not sure? thanks

All the camera shots they had of the car made it look rather flattering. I think it looked great. Some angles, the design just doesn't work... in others, it looks gorgeous.

A little off topic....

Whatever happened to TopGear on the Speed Channel? Have they changed their time? I can't find it on their usual show time.
