No, the white one to the right of the rover in the first pic. The pic is stretched (widescreen to 4:3 I think)

Could be a golf... what do the rest of you think

I'm with MJ, that white one is a 300 with clusters removed, didn't notice that whilst watching it, was dissapointed with the program though ;)

Agreed it's a 300, the light cutouts, boot lid all adds up to being a 300, the spoiler mounts top it off, and the sides of the boot lid that the screen goes onto too.

I too was a bit disappointed with the program, the first one with Jimmy Carr (Jimmy Carnage as they called him) breaking Mini's was more fun when Clarkson and possibly Richard Hammond presented it and also took part. Who was the presenter? His commentary was pants most of the time! I thought this was going to be good, but it was a bit of a let down. They've just used the car cannon from Top Gear for one round, which the idea has been overdone now for me.

Wonder what it was there for?

I guess they may do all the fiming for all the series in a couple consecutive days, so it may get wrecked layer in the series :(

I suspect she was astounded by the stylish vehicle reflected in the shop window...

"Gosh, what suave and sophisticated gentleman-about-town drives that fine Volvo automobile?"
