Does anyone know when or if there will be a Kuga review on Top Gear? I haven't missed it have I?


I gather the big JC gave it a bit of a thumbs down in his Times article so I want to watch him and hurl abuse at the TV while he predictably sl*gs it off.

It's not been on - maybe next series?

JC wasn't massively negative as I recall - it was basically "meh! - hard seats"...there is an 'official' Top Gear first drive review here though:

Many thanks. Actually that reviewwasn't too bad was it? Thought that because it doesn't do 0-60 in 6 seconds it would be classed as boring by Top Gear. The current TG magazine raves about the Kuga, giving it almost 5/5 stars in all catagories and naming it as their4x4 choice.
I am just curious about the program presenters opinions.

At the end of the day would it change your mind if they didn't like it. I am not bothered about ferrai's as we had a 355 at work, yes it was fast, but unreliable and useless on public roads, couldn't leave it anywhere as i was worried it would go missing. In the end it got trashed by landing in a field and minor damage cost a fortune to put right, oh and it was low mileage and we had to spend £6k on the engine to get it put right. But listen to Top Gear and the 355 is one of the best ones out there...
Horses for courses...

Has anyone else read this review from the Top Gear website?
Surprisingly positive!

I've read Clarkson's view of the Kuga from his article in the Times....
