[edit] In this Episode
Intro: Jeremy and Richard introduce Top Gear Dog, and season's montage is played.
Review: A very embarrassed Richard drives the Nissan Micra C+C in Ledbury (where he normally does his shopping).
Challenge: Jeremy, Richard and James turn a Renault Espace into a convertible. In the making of the convertible Espace is the first time we hear the now rather commonly heard "Top Gear: Ambitious but rubbish" line from Jeremy. After it is complete, they are then given 3 challenges: They first have to drive their convertible people carrier at 100mph, then take it through a safari park and finally take it through a automatic car wash, with hilarious results.
News: Petrol prices and chips, Volkswagen Eos, Jeremy's Ford GT drama, environmentalists drive a Bio Ethanol powered Ford Focus and a G-Wiz, Saab Aero-X.
Review: James drives the funky new Honda Civic.
Star in a Reasonably Priced Car: Goodbye Suzuki Liana, hello Chevrolet Lacetti. Jeremy and Richard have a picnic at the Top Gear test track and invite lots of celebrities to take the new Lacetti around the track.
Diesel News: JCB Diesel Max in the studio, to take on the World Land Speed Record for diesel cars.
Review: Jeremy blasts around the track in the awesome Koenigsegg CCX. The Stig takes it around the track and posts a time of 1:20.4. The Stig then tries another lap without short shifting and being braver in the corners and crashes the CCX. We are told Koenigsegg will stick a wing on the back of the CCX and Stiggie will take that around later in the series.
