Hyped up the Ford v Holden on the adds..."the show you've all been waiting for" And there I was, thinking I'd actually get some information.... got sweet FA. (apart from the fact that psuedo Hamster dosn't know sh1t about how to launch a Turbo'd six.) All in all, a gutless effort I think. it's now "the show were all still waiting for" next time pseudo James May picks up a texta and paper for the show, they should break his fingers. pseudo-Clarkson remainds me too much of Darryl Eastlake; both annoying in the extreme. Aus-stig has the most screen presence and personallity out of the lot of 'em. All this would be OK if it were funny. But it aint. P.S Sadly, it's still better television than 95% of the junk on free to air. No sir, I don’t like it…..

As much as I hated episode 1 and 2. Episode 3 finally got my attention for the whole hour. Where the other two really had me yawning and wondering when it'll all be over. Hopefully it gets better still. SteveC Hmm, I have to say. As much as I hated episode 1 and 2. Episode 3 finally got my attention for the whole hour.

The news segment is relavant to us aussies and the production qualities are up there with TGUK. I agree there should be a track graphic or something and more critical reviews of the cars (good and/or bad) but otherwise i really like the show, must be the car enthusiast coming out in me.

To all the knockers I would like to see you guys host the show, of couse the presenters will be stiff and nervous. Give them a fair go!.. Would like to see them test a few new Japanese cars, Mazda's, Honda's and Subs. Particularly the new facelift RX-8 and Mazda 6, and new Honda Accord with it's variable engine cylinder modes. TGA is much improved.

All in all i loved it, it is starting to become a really good show, but then again i love cars i watch anyhow. Cant believe they let them do that the astras thought that was funny...Keep up the good work TGA..for all the haters,TURN IT OFF YOU TOSSERS...simple...go watch desperate housewives then....lol Ok the TGA boys are finally starting to gel together, i thought it was a great episode, would have like a bit more info interior shots of the W427 but was still good, But steve was nuts to drive at that speed with no hands, gurantee the nitpickers of road safety will have a go at that.

The fella driving the W427's a ragged steerer compared to Clarkson. Otherwise, there's plenty that's redolent of the UK show, and that's good. I can’t remember names, yet.
