Amazing video production quality, I think. Extremely disappointing to think about the actual topic at hand, though. Hopefully you all can appreciate the video for what it is, seeing as we are all a bunch of car "fanatics" at heart. I realize we have a lot to be thankful for, but some things are still sad to see...

The helicopter shots are amazing, the cuts, transitions, odd camera angles (inside the car too), choice of location, is what makes Top Gear the best show there is.  Makes the equivalent American production (C&D) look like it was made by idiots with paws for hands.

Wait a minute...

As for the subject matter, yes, it's hard to see many V12, 510hp, 3000Lbs cars in the future, but it's worse in Europe still - it's almost like CA there...I wonder when they'll reintroduce quotas for electric cars again (Remember the GM's EV1 in the 90's?).

This is just a stunning piece of work by the Top Gear guys!  This clip really makes my sad for the fact that I may never be fortunate enough to experience anything like the V12 Vantage even if I had enough disposable income.

Great video,
I can't wait to see that whole episode.  I think Jay Leno is a class act and said the reason for his job was for his car collection and it shows.  I think they used the green-screen interior pan a bit too much but other than that, its a great clip.
