    Love these analyses, Wes. Video is a good idea, too.

    I enjoyed this. Seriously. Not crappy or cheesy. It makes riding a bike and using that rack a positive instead of a negative if it was done crappily, And this is a Public Service Announcement! Multi-billion dollar corporations could learn from this.

    Yes, Wes it resembles a car - but a very fat car. To properly advertise this latest 5 series I think BMW needs to resurrect Clive Owen's character from 'The Hire." It could be great. Only this time he's a nutty professor who has to pick up relatives -- the Klumps -- in a 5 series and take them to a thanksgiving feast. Hilarity ensues. Fart jokes abound.

    In the episode, I wish they'd shown more of the actual fabrication of the vehicle (the part of it they participated in, if any, that is) than those awful compliance tests. Although I have to say, Clarkson's mood room looked like an amazing place to spend time.

    It looks like a postal van that got sideswiped by a barn.

    Bet that wooden door has a nice, low carbon footprint, though!

    But if you read the road test, you will find that is 3rd in the list of all time favourite electric cars, coming in before the golf cart and the G-Wiz.

    Probably really does show how empty this market this, as well.

    In reply to Top Gear Season 14, Episode 2: YouTube Open Thread
    One thing TG hasn't dialed it in yet at is the actual road review segment. The cinematography was gorgeous as always (and a bit trippy too) and I was actually surprised when the ZR1 reared its head. I also knew instantly that Clarkson would backtrack on his California love confession, but as The Stig's times proved, in the right hands it was amazing on a track.

    Everything else in the episode I could basically take or leave. Lots of bad acting in the project film, and for some reason Michael Sheen came off as almost as big a dick as Dick King Jay Kay.

    It would have taken a visionary like Le Corbusier or Loewy to have created a vehicle as forward-thinking as this. From the modular power-plant to the 100% non stressed body, they even had the forsight to use raw aluminium which displays patina from new, before it has even began to collect the usual parking dings and jealous scratches.

    Just as Shaped By The Wind styling was a proponent of cutting-edge automotive designs of the past, this body panels of this car will literally be shaped by any gentle breeze it encounters.

    If Teslar had badged it, they'd have had a world-beater on their hands.
