Shame that each of those wasn't far off 10 years or more ago though...! I guess there was the Esprit in the Falklands episode, nothing recent manufacture year wise though.
The episode wasn't bad, the Pug bit was quite interesting followed by a waste of 15 minutes of my life, though I'm sure I spotted an old Europa in there
I guess it's a sign that they don't expect Peugeot to be making anything worthy of their coverage for a while!
Whilst May was driving the Ferrari around, I said to Erica, I bet Ferrari don't let them do a Stig lap with it. Not the first time as I recall Top Gear previously drafted in Nick Mason's Enzo for a power lap, and were subsequently banned from Ferrari press cars for a while. It's strange (and sad) to see Ferrari move on in terms of technologies, 4WD, hybrids etc, but keeping some of their ridiculous strategies that seem to make little to no sense - tuned press cars, sending full on teams to set the car up for the track in question, or no comparisons their rivals... I can't imagine there are that many people who buy a special Ferrari like La Ferrari on the basis that it's faster than the McLaren / Porsche alternative!
