Episode Overview
This week on Top Gear, the team reviews a selection of iconic vehicles including the Mercedes SL280, Nissan Micra, Aston Martin Lagonda, and Audi TT. Jeremy can't contain his excitement over the classic Mercedes from the 1970s, drawing comparisons to the contemporary Audi TT. In a surprising twist, the affordable Nissan Micra, priced at £9,000, is juxtaposed with a lavish £38 million Boeing 737 private jet. James reminisces about the Aston Martin Lagonda while offering a first glimpse at the new Aston Martin DB9. A thrilling drag race features classic and modern cars, including the original Golf GTI against the new Toyota MR2, the Escort Cosworth versus the Ford Focus RS, and the Peugeot 205 against its successor, the Peugeot 206. Johnny Vegas takes a spin as the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car.
