Wow.

First, I love that show - I've got the torrent for that episode and I hadn't even watched it yet.

I also watch Top Gear, but this is DEFINITELY NOT a Top Gear style review of an electric. Vicky reviews it pretty fairly, without being cute about it and turning it into a spectacle (something Clarkson wouldn't be able to resist ... though it would undoubtedly be entertaining).

I got a laugh out of the 0-30 city drag race though.

Smart EV: 5.7 seconds

ForkenSwift: 36 seconds
