Great episode. It was a surprise to have Jay leno pop up for an interview in the end. How Jeremy feels about the V12, I feel about the V8's here in America.. That is one of the many reasons I bought a Camaro SS which was within my budget. Even though all V8's and V12's are being replaced by more fuel efficient engines because of CAFE standards and environmentalists.. As long as I can buy Gasoline, I will be driving a V8 from now on.. The Chevy Volt and its 100MPG rating as well as first 40 miles using no gas is a great idea, however I should be able to have a choice if I want a V8 engine sports car without Gas Guzzler taxes and higher than todays current pricing because car companies will be forced to make less of them.. It is sad to see 5 year old perfectly good cars being bought using my taxpayer money and then rendered useless. To me its another bailout. I had a 1998 Ford Mustang which was still running perfectly in 2009. So the Government buys it and destroys it. If I sold it, the car would be used by someone else or re-sold if it was a trade in. Couple this program with a Government run car company that can order GM employees to stop making V8's at any time and that every car must get 30MPG combined even though there is a free market that still desires V8 muscle cars... It does make me sad to see where my country is heading..
