Just a head up. They did a “Cheap Car Challenge on the most recent episode of “Grand Tour” that featured an e38 750il, a Mercedes W140 and a Cadillac STS. It was a good watch, y’all should check it out.
Here is a trailer: https://youtu.be/rI2Ihba_i4U

The was a good episode. Not a fan of the aerial flame thrower test but it did make me laugh.

Definitely an entertaining one. I'm confused by the STS though. It's gotta be an older Seville, as the model they sold in the US as just the STS was rwd not fwd.

The STS in the us was fwd as well!

The 04 and older Seville touring sedan (badged as a Seville) was fwd. The 05+ STS was rwd. The former was what they had on the show. I've just never seen one solely referred to as an STS.

i was a bit worried that E38 control arms will break on that serpentine run, was glad to see it was only the tire

Is it just me or does GT appear to be returning to old TG form this season. I enjoyed the Columbian episodes and the Jim Clark tribute was well done.
Glad to not see any more questionable celebrities driving badly.

The season has gotten a lot better over the last 2 episodes; I felt like it was a bit of a slow start. But agreed, it’s nice to get rid of some of the poorer segments.

They have a lot more freedom now than they did with the BBC, so I'm not surprised that there's some experimentation going on to figure out what works best.

At the same time the BBC owned the rights to what they were doing with TG so it couldn't just be exactly the same.
